Spring! Snow? Happy Easter!
My doctor has put me through a battery of tests and I’m still waiting on the results from those. He’s not happy with my weight loss and it’s time for my annual tests anyway. We’ll see what comes from that. I’m not really worried. Whatever comes, comes. I’ll handle it.
I’ve been up to the nursing home to visit my Uncle Joe twice since I posted last. He had the flu but seems to be doing better now. His dementia is progressing and his lack of concentration was very evident this past week.
Mom’s appetite is getting better and she’s abandoned using her walker. She’s getting around pretty good and her legs seem to be getting stronger as long as the walking distance isn’t more than ten feet. The time change confused her for nearly a week and she’s back to getting up and down during the night. Seems lately her Alzheimer’s is taking a few steps back instead of progressing. That’s a good thing, it’s just you never know from one moment or day to the next which way it’s going. Memories are coming from nowhere at times and conversations are forgotten within minutes or seconds. I hate this disease and its back and forth, ups and downs and plateauing.
Happy Spring and Happy Easter to all who celebrate. Though I’m not sure spring has sprung with 20 degree temperatures here and another inch of snow. :( The sun has melted all the snow finally.
I’ve missed reading what’s going on with everyone. I’ll try to get caught up on my blog reading this week. Hope all are well. Have a great week everyone!

Joanne,
It is so good to hear from you again. I hope that everything is okay and that the test results come back as they should. Weight loss? Ummmm. I need to lose some but I don't want to be sick to lose it. I'm sorry to hear that Uncle Joe is sick. I hope that he gets to feeling better soon. The time change is just a pain in the butt. We didn't even change the time on the clocks at Mom's but reset the time on our watches. I figured that she has enough going on without adding the extra stress of time chance. While everyone else is still under snow, I was mowing the lawn yesterday and working in the flower garden. It is definately Spring here. It has been 70 to 75 degress here for the past few days. Nice but that means that they Summer is going to hot, hot, hot!!! Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
Happy Easter Joanne! Glad to see a new from post from you! Also that everyone is well. Hope that your test results are not cause for alarm and that everything works out for you!
I can't get over the fact that some parts of the country still have snow! It is nearly 80 here today and looks like we're in for it for the Summer - It is usually over 100, and that is TOO hot for me, so I'm trying to enjoy the 70's and 80's while I can!
Blessings to you and your family today and always, Joanne. Thanks for posting again, I missed you! :)
