I had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. This year the boys went all out, showering me with love throughout the weekend and reminding me that I am appreciated and valued. After a chaotic few weeks, it was a wonderful few days of relaxing and unwinding. I am waking up this morning happy, energized and ready to tackle the week.
After spending two weeks in Pennsylvania for my Mom's surgery, I didn't make it up to visit her for Mother's Day this year. She is still in considerable pain and seemed just as happy for the quiet time at home. She is improving but it is not nearly as quick as she had hoped. Of course, nobody anticipated a total replacement so this recovery has thrown us all off our game.
Mom has resumed her physical therapy and I am hoping that the movement will help spark more healing. I know that she is anxious to resume her life! I know that she is making incremental progress everyday but, because the improvements are small, the gains are not obvious. I know that she is frustrated and it is difficult to help her because there is little I can actually do except offer support and DoorDash.
