Home

Mother is home. Now she has visits with a nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist and a bath aide. Busy busy! LOL  Very nice of Medicare though. That pesky UTI is cleared up, hopefully we can keep it that way.

Dane County Farmer's Market today, it was lovely as usual. Had some good chow around Madison too.

The Welcome Home Committee.

John's birthday (late)  meal at Erin's Snug Irish Pub in Madison. Delicious. 

The reuben and loaded colcanon was delicious, as was Johns Friday fish special. John even had a beer. Well . . . part of a beer, a Spotted Cow. It goes without saying that I had beer. I am my father's daughter after all. 

Farmer's Market bounty. Missing from photo . . . a buttermilk doughnut, a rhubarb breakfast bar, and a pecan pie bar. 

Misdemeanor theft from John's absentee neightbor. 

Fingers crossed for a good home stretch with mom, and good health for all!

September

New addition to the homestead. Will make getting Mom in and out a lot easier . . . and less scary. Finnegan likes it. He thinks we put it in so he can sit on that rail and rule the neighborhood. I used to feel sad when I would see a new ramp at a house, now I think it means someone gets to stay home a while longer, a good thing! I gotta say, still a little sad though.  We will be able to get Mom outside more now, the fresh air will do her good.

Mom is still at rehab at Park Pointe, but I suspect she will be home soon. Her UTI is cleared up and she is feeling better. Therapy is going OK, arm is still painful, but not sure there is much that can be done about that at mom's age. We shall see. It will be good to have her back at home.

Nothing else new, starting fall yard work and looking forward to consistent fall temps. These 90 degree days with high humidity are for the birdies.
