Going back to Cali

Well, I'm heading back to California tomorrow. (Oh - for those of you, who don't know, Kuba and I have moved to Marin County, just about 30 miles North of SF.) Mom's step-sister, Linda, will arrive this afternoon to help her out for the next week. That makes going home a little easier for me... knowing that mom will continue to have help for a little bit.

I know the google calendar I put together to schedule meals for mom isn't working too easily. If you do want to bring a meal by for her, after 8/9 would be best. You can just e-mail me at jenluttrell@yahoo.com and let me know when you'd like to contribute. I'll be sure to let mom know when to expect you. She hates it that I'm asking for meals for her. That's my mom. Never asking for help.

Mom is doing pretty well considering the intensity of her surgery on Tuesday. She's staying on top of the pain and rested moderately well last night, once we got her a wedge pillow. She had a lot of visitors yesterday, which always seems to cheer her up.

Feel free to give her a call or stop by.

I'm thinking that mom might need some help after Linda leaves... I just don't see how she'll get that intricate splint on/off without moving her shoulder unless she has some help. Most of the visiting nurse businesses have a 4 hour minimum. If any of you know of someone, who would be good to help out a couple hours/day, please let me know. It would be good to have an option nailed down should we need it.

Thanks for all of your support.

love,
jen
