While she's having her radiation, her wonderful nurse came in to see if she could take care of me and Dad. We have everything we need; we're a fairly low-maintenance kind of family. The one thing we need is Mom to be back home and healthy, and we know the nurses are doing everything they can to help make that happen.
After radiation, Mom has a funny fishnet-stocking type pattern on her forehead, needs a cool cloth to help her feel better, and is very tired. She enjoyed a lime sherbet for being a good patient and was ready for a little nap. But wait...there's blood pressure and temperature to be taken...okay, now she can sleep.
Nope. Time for a blood sugar test and prick of the finger. The nurse asked, "Which finger do you like least?" and Mom clearly pointed to all 10 of the nurse's fingers! Never one to lose her humor...okay blood sugar done...nap now?
Nope. Time for a breathing treatment, several minutes of a test that you should be able to do while sleeping but for which you are awakened. Sigh. Nap now?
Yes. Sign on the door, blanket on, teddy bears and pillows in place.
Better rest while you can. Dinner comes in 20 minutes.

Alicia, All I have to say is that the writing talent appears to be genetic. You have your mom's gift with words and sense of humor! Thanks for all your updates. Let your mom know we love her and are sending continuous good wishes to all of you.
Hey, Judy,
I have been out of town at an academic competition for the past weekend. It is so great to get back and find out my dear friend has made such wonderful progress. Keep up the hard work, and you will soon be wining. I hope to join you in a glass when the time comes. Love ya, Luanne

I sure missed not getting updates this weekend, and I really appreciate it when you girls post. Glad to hear y'all are doing well and that Judy is improving. Our prayers are with all of you.
I love this post! It makes me happy because it shows how much Mrs. Worrell improved and it also keeps us updated on what is going on and what they are doing! Oh and, of course, it was h.i.l.a.r.i.o.u.s. :)
Sorry I have not been able to come to the hospital, but I have a bad cold and cough which no one needs.
Hang in there.
Love Ya, Joanne S.
