on Sunday, Jackie and her husband Steve from Redeemer church visited, communion and prayers, left church bulletin ... when they arrived, H. did not display pleasure that they were here, but annoyance ... was this standard reaction to routine disruption? or does she not get anything out of these visits? not sure, did not follow up with her, jsut forgot to.
another Sunday visitor was Morris, who brought flowers and chocolate. he stayed for about an hour, not much conversation between the two of them, as H. is napping or just cannot hear/understand what is being said. But there is some, as Morris understands how to do this. He does not seem to mind at all just sitting, he reads the paper.
fyi ... I was awakened from an afternoon nap by the sound of silence ... somehow the tv sound had been muted ... had to have been H. ... I am convinced she chose it and figured out how to do it, not just happenstance that the mute button got pushed.
Saturday night, H. requested something different for supper ... a hamburger ... guess she gets tired of sameOld/sameOld.
retired early - 7pm - on Saturday ... slept to 3;30, then up every hour calling Morris, sitting up for drink of water, then back down to sleep ... no visits to toilet til 8am rising.

I love reading your posts. Everything is so calm. I can only imagine that that is how it is when you are there. I think I'm more fidgety and fretful. But I can certainly vouch for the fact that she calls our for Morris in the night. Every night. Every awakening. She doesn't seem too bothered when I arrive. Probably bothers me more than her that he is not there.
Thanks for being there, Jane. It gives me peace.
RE: Jackie. The last time I was there and Jackie came, Mom was OK with it.
