Mom's wisdom

"Here's the thing about life. You've got to find those fun things to have about life. This is not necessarily fun.
But you've got to find something fun." - Mom, on June 22, 2012.

"What the heck is that?"

Today Mom is getting more words out and actively participating in occupational therapy, learning to use her left hand better, stretching her right arm and leg, and improving her balance by sitting up in the bed. (Her muscles are tired after so much bed rest, so she'll have to work on her core strength for a while.)

With all this work, she was hungry at lunch but not thrilled at what was served. Pointing to the plate, she asked, "What the heck is that?"

We thought about posting a photo of her lunch, but really...it's probably best forgotten.
