Mom Revisited

I have a business trip next week in Huntsville, AL and was in Charlottesville VA Friday, so the government told me to spend the weekend in Huntsville, so I came to Gatlinburg (4 hours away) for Sat and Sun.  I did a few things:
     - Fixed Mom's extension cord
     - Replaced the mail box (the old one was plastic and the hinge broke)
     - Fixed Mom's leaf Blower
     - Moved the refridgerator and cleaned behind it
     - Moved the basment couch and vacuumed behind it
     - Moved the sewing machine so mom could oil it
     - Bought M&D KFC for Dad's birthday, cake and all

I haven't seen much improvement in Mom.  She is still using the walker and is slumped over when she is on the sticks.  I think she left PT too early.  She is complaining about some hip discomfort (and won't have her hip worked on).  I think more PT with some weight training to strengthen her legs and back is needed.  Her back is still weak.  Not a Doc, just a Jock though.

Tomorrow is Church (Gotta get there before some asshole form Florida takes the handicap spot!- Guess who said that?)  then I am trying to get them out for breakfast before I head back to Huntsville.

Later.

  1. Thanks for update, I just spoke to Mom and she appreciated all that you did. She called it a "work-ation" not a "vac-ation".
    Just got back from moving Mark to Arlington, VA, oh to be young again (I think)! He's in a great apartment in Ballston, a really hot spot for young professional. Happy Hour beers are $2!!!
    And Happy Birthday to Rondah! I've lost track of dates....
