Jane and I arrived at Mom and Dad's a little later than usual. I was running late (my car battery was dead), and traffic heading down 13th East was awful! There was construction most of the way! So, we got there at about 11:00 a.m. I started cleaning and doing my usual chores.
Mom told me that they were expecting a visit from a home health nurse. She had that appointment with the Wound Care Clinic on Wednesday, and arrangments had been made for home health to come and change the dressing of the sore on her back each day. They showed up about a half hour after I got there. They did a thorough health check and assessment, then changed Mom's dressing. They are going to come on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. After that, they will reevaluate how the wound is healing and will probably drop their visits done to two or three times a week. Mom was very receptive and seemed thankful that they were there.
Mom had a vase of her roses on the table by her chair. The roses bushes had been trimmed (I assume that the Hicks did that) for the winter, and she got a beautiful bouquet for the house.
Jane and I left after the home health nurses had finished, at about 12:45 p.m. Mom and Dad both had a ham sandwich and watermelon for lunch with me and Jane.
