home again

Mom was released from the hospital today. I hope she is comfortable and doesn’t get too confused. So may things have changed in the past two weeks and dementia is so challenging. I was able to get home and get a workout in!

Lunch with Katie and Christian at Buffalo Wild Wings then to the mall where we ran into Molly and Siri. 

Hospital with K, K, K & Mom. Dinner with Kurt (he treated at Culver’s.

so long February

So we’re wrapping a month with a lot of traveling. Heading to the cabin, coming down to Mankato two weekends in a row and going to basketball games, hosting Bunco and Brad traveling for work. 

Today I went to my friend Teri’s 60th birthday party and then came down to spend the weekend with Mom as she’s in the hospital. Brad and Osten came down earlier today. Mom slept most of the day so I hope she sleeps well tonight
