Today Ron took me out of the house for a nice trip to Port Colborne, to visit Aunt Mer and Uncle Edgar. It has been quite some time since I have seen Aunt Mer, and it was good to see them both today. Aunt Mer has late-stage Alzheimer's disease, and is pretty quiet these days, but it was apparent to Ron and I that she was aware of our visit and perhaps knew who we were. One of the nurses came over to express her surprise to us at how alert and chatty Marilyn was with us. We couldn't really tell what she was trying to tell us, but there were lots of recognizable phrases and it brought back good memories to hear her voice and way of expressing herself. She seemed pleased that we were there. She ate a good lunch for Uncle Edgar when he came in, but seemed content to let him do the talking then. Uncle Edgar does a wonderful job of caring for his wife, and comes twice a day for her meals.
After the visit, we went to see Gord and Pam and ended up going out to lunch for really good fish fry with them. Then back home for a needed rest.
Gord and Pam gave up on waiting for us in Mexico and came back early, and decided to save their vacation time and money for a trip next November, when hopefully we can be there with them. I'll try not to mess them up again.
I hope to have some real information for the blog tomorrow. It will feel better I think, to really know the plan. I know there is more to be done. I just want to heal well, and then get on with it!
