Pneumonia...again

Another doctor's appointment, and this time, he heard wheezing. Pneumonia again. Antibiotics again.

Mom's very unsteady on her feet. Forgetting words, using the wrong words, etc. She doesn't understand most of what I say to her. She's also having problems with time. For example, the doctor wanted more blood tests, and I had lost the last order so I asked for a replacement copy. They gave me one, and we left the office. Mom then asked if I found "the thing [I] was looking for," and told me she thought that I was given a copy before realizing I had lost the first copy. Minutes feel like hours to her, and she keeps asking for cookies that no longer exist (Keebler hasn't made flaky flix in years) and not understanding why I "won't" buy them for her. Her coughing is horrible. I've been instructed by the doctor to keep visitors to a minimum and only the healthy folk.

Blood taken today, more tomorrow. Tomorrow's results will let the hospital schedule her tap, which is when they'll draw the accumulated fluid off her belly and send it to the lab for testing.

Crockpotluck Wednesday! I made black bean chili from 500 Low GI Recipes (Dick Logue), with a few tweeks for Mom's no-tolerance spicy policy in her own mini crockpot and meatless for the girls tonight. We're having ribs.

I'll be calling again tomorrow for the One Night Stand. I know everyone wants more details, but I don't have any yet. I'm looking for a corporate sponsor to help pay whatever expenses come up for this, and really hoping to get some live music. October is art month, so let's take advantage of that.
