Granny is no longer like a newborn baby sleeping the majority of the time. She is finding her place in her new home. We now have an alert button necklace for her, I believe the idea of the alert button has calmed her, knowing she can get help if she falls is a biggie. I went back to work this week, just 2 days, however this is different for granny to be on her own for the day. She did her own laundry, washed, dried, folded and put away... Impressive... I now know she will be doing her own laundry...
We have set up a gal to come in 3 times a week.
We are moving forward, still have moments of frustration, however not as many. I am trying to be more sensitive, put myself in granny's shoes. I would feel the same as she does I think questioning why I am still here, why doesn't God take me.
I have been working on upholstering a chair for the last 1 1/2yrs. (that is a whole different story) All I have left is the cushion and the back... I pulled it out and asked for granny's help. Her face became bright, her eyes glazed over.... she came alive... She got out her notebook and started taking notes on how to finish this chair (finally) & even how to fix what I didn't do correctly.. Even down to refinishing the legs vs replacing them (my idea).
I do believe I will be pulling out the rest of the unfinished projects around here.....
