Yesterday these were beautiful! Today they were dry. (I should have checked them yesterday.) But I had my camera there today, so took pictures anyway. Mom was "eating" lunch in her room. She let them wash her today, but refused to let them dress her. She had fixed her tea and drank a bit, buttered her bread and eaten a couple bites. I got her some beef and noodles from the kitchen, but she took one bite and spit them back out. "They are just terrible" (I had tasted them and they were fine.) I watered the plant (4 glasses) and by the time Mom got to the bathroom and back they were starting to perk up a bit. She seem perkier than yesterday. She had 1/2 a pain pill last night and at 6:00 this a.m., but refused any at 10:00. "They don't help at all!"( She would be zonked if she took more anyway.) She knows Ruth plans to come next week and Marg the end of June. Very crabby and negative to any encouragement. Complains of how terrible her leg is and how she HAS to keep it up in bed. "The chair isn't high enough" It shows no bruising anymore. She wanted help to the bathroom, but by only holding her pj's, she did just fine. Then before she got back into bed stood on one foot and used the other to fold up her walker. No balance, limping or strength problems at all, but I warned her of the danger and was told that I didn't know anything about it. So continues the care of the elderly. (Can you tell from the pictures of the flowers, the before and after water, in about 10 minutes? They should come up to full beauty soon)
