It's the weekend! Now is the time I have to try and catch up with all I've been postponing since November the 6th....ugh. Haven't been over to see Granny yet today, but will be soon--inbetween grocery shopping and Walmart. Luckily, it's an overcast, somewhat rainy day and therefore I have an excuse not to work on raking leaves which are an incredible mess, and only in OUR yard, I might add.
The really exciting news is that Granny was home last night for a quick visit! I was able to bring Granny home for supper last night--my restriction was she had to be back to the rehab center before midnight (the medicare curfew). But the nurse wanted her back before 9pm because she had some medicine she needed to take. Fine with me! We had some vegetable soup I had made for supper (and no--it wasn't poisonous just because I was the one who cooked it). Granny got to sit in her recliner and watch Biggest Loser tv program that I had recorder for her. Also got to use her OWN bathroom--she shares one with 3 other residents at the center. And read some of the mail that has been piling up. But by 8pm, she was more than ready to go back to the center and get some sleep. It was only about 2-1/2 hours, but it was really good to see her home.
Nico was so surprised to see her, too--although she told me later that Granny smelled really different from wherever she's been. Nico was very courteous and tried to stay out of the way of the wheelchair and walker, but also very happy to help her finish up the soup she was too full to finish.
