First Day @ HOME

5:30am early riser! It was a good but long night at home. The couch was much more comfortable than the hospital bed.

Breakfast: Soft food diet in baby steps: Chicken broth and Jell-o.

An at home nurse stopped by at 11am and checked her out. Mom got in trouble for not JUST resting. She even tried to walk the nurse out and Karen (nurse) said to just lie down.

I hear her washing dishes right now, but I want to finish this before going down stairs. I know she has a hard time just relaxing. She is a go-getter.

After the nurse let I took my notes from the dietitian, that I met with at the hospital, and went to Target(the one off Palomar Airport is always dead and has a FULL grocery section) to stock up on her next weeks food: Chicken, Veggie, or Beef broth, carrots, etc. (any non fiberish veggies cooked real soft), no fiber or rufage, apple sauce, cream of wheat, white rice and white bread (prob. only time someone tells you to eat instead of wheat) soy milk (no dairy), and on and on. I had a special request from mom for some Popsicles. It has been hot!

Our neighbors Kay and Frank were nice enough to hear and see if she needed anything when I was gone.

Up the stairs tonight to the NICE SOFT BED. Yeah!
