Welcome to my Blog :)

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and most importantly your support throughout this difficult journey. Your physical presence wasn't necessarily what we needed; your love, strength and caring was.

IN MOM'S MEMORY, to those of you who sponsored me for the Investor's Group Memory Walk...I walked 5kms on 18 June 2011 in the pouring rain, and cold weather. We were soaked and covered in mud. I raised $1176 to help THEM find a cure BEFORE WE REACH OUR GOLDEN YEARS. To find out if we were fortunate enough to reach our goal this year, go to:

www.alzheimer.ab.ca to check out the numbers.

Congratulations to all who participated in support of those who can no longer do so themselves. This disease could affect all of us at one point of our lives or another. The next time someone approaches you, wondering if you'll sponsor them, consider saying yes because it could be YOU or someone you love facing this devastating disease. Don't wait until it's too late.

An Interim Blog for Today

Great News!!!  Mom's been placed in her new residence!  I got a call at lunch time.  She's going to be so happy.  It's a wonderful place.  I toured it on Tuesday and although it's not my first choice, it's REALLY nice.  They have physiotherapists and occupational therapists that will assist her in continuing her fight to get better.  Right now, she'll have to share a room but the woman I spoke with told me it won't be long before she can move to a private room.  And, the private rooms are pretty close to equivalent to the size of her suite at the Rutherford, without the kitchenette.

There are all kinds of friendly people there.  The staff appeared to be extremely friendly and while I was on the phone with the woman, I confirmed that the doctor(s) were competent enough to deal with the complex health issues Mom faces on a daily basis.  She assured me they were.  They also have a Nurse Practitioner on staff Monday thru Friday.  That's also a huge relief.  A Nurse Practitioner is basically the same as a doctor without the "MD" behind their name.

Things seem to be looking up for the Queen Mother...lol

Thanks for stopping by again... :)
