Mom’s First Outing Since Returning from the Hospital

Today, my brother Jeff and his wife Kathy came from Lawrenceville, GA, to visit. Since his favorite pizza parlor is Westshore Pizza in Brandon, we always try to go there while they are here.

Tonight, we headed off to Westshore, Mom’s first time out of the house since she came home from the hospital. She walked all of the way out of the house to the car and got in the car with no problem. When we got to the restaurant, she seemed reluctant to walk in, so we put her in the wheelchair. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t physical energy she lacked as much as fear of going in where there were other people. In her own way, she ate quite a dinner, including a chicken wing, French fries, and pizza.

When we got home she walked up the ramp and into the house. She was very glad to be home.

She slept all night last night (well, until 4 am); I’m hoping she’ll do the same tonight. She’s already asleep.

Until next time…
