Sitting here I can really keep an eye on Mom

Fluffy here with overdue report,….

Things have been pretty hectic the past ten days. So much confusion with all the nurses coming and going. I follow Mommy all around our house and take care of her. But she was downstairs walking few days ago and she decided to try to do steps out front. Susie and Julie were with her. But suddenly her bad leg buckled under her and she fell!

Rennie isn't much help

We sure didn’t need that after what we’ve been thru! Susie and Julie couldn’t get her up into the wheelchair. But luckily a really nice young man working in Bldg 5 came. He put his arms around under Mom’s arms and clasped them in front of her and he told her to clasp hers on top of his and in one swift movement he had her straight up and into her wheel chair. They decided he must have had paramedic training. He really rescued Mom. Then last night Mommy went to find something In her closet and she left her walker at the door. Next thing she was calling for Susie. She fell again. We are really watching her now. And the doctor is getting strict. She’s been thru so much we are forbidden to upset her. So Rennie and I have to be friends for her sake. She was however very upset her friend Nonie De Limur died.

Jiko and Martin Blakeway were home from Japan for 3 days before they left for Geneva. They came to see us and brought Mommy the poached pears Jiko makes that Mommy loves. I'm checking it out.

Ladys who spends nights with us really makes her laugh. She has a heavy accent from Ecuador and talks very fast. I don’t understand her sometimes but Mommy and aunt Susie do.

Today we got a coffee maker and we had a Coffee Party. Mommy said Ecuadorian way of making coffee is like she gets in Paris. And we had whole wheat English muffins and scrambled eggs. Bob and Carol Jackson bring us fresh eggs every week from their fancy chickens. I can’t wait to tell Babji Mom ate a whole big breakfast. All her doctors have been worried because she wouldn’t eat. But Ladys makes it fun.

Mommy says this blue coral looks like mountains she saw in Yunnan. Doesn't look like mountains to me!

Well guess that’s our news for now.

Most important thing is doctors have found pills that control Mom’s horrendous pain. And she is laughing again.

Love,
Fluffy

Guess I won't sample the apples after all. I don't like the look in his eyes.

Mommy has strange things in this house. Rennie says this is something called a dragon I'm checking out.

Sorry I’ve been out of touch but I’ve had my hands full. We came home a week and half ago and the house has been really crazy. Different nurses three times a day & Rennie barking madly at all of them especially the 11:pm shift. Aunt Susie manages to stay calm & get everything organized. She’s the greatest.

Aunt Susie was holding me up to make friends with Rennie Nurse Juliette was holding Rennie

Uncle Johnny came to visit us & I flew on to is head. He was a good sport. Aunt Susie & Mommy couldn't stop laughing.

We had one really bad night last week. At 4:30 in morning all these big firemen came & took Mommy back to Cottage Hospital. I rode in the ambulance. Rennie had to stay home. She was really jealous I got to go. We came home the next morning.

Mommy has really hurt a lot. She hasn’t been any fun. Thank goodness Aunt Susie is here all the time. Then today my pal Babji came to see us. That’s Dr. Babji Mesipam. He really scolded Mommy. He told her she could keep lying in bed hurting letting the nurses do everything for her or she could get up & force herself to walk & do things for herself no matter how much she hurts & get strong & well.

Well he really knew how to get to Mom. After he left she dressed herself. She uses something like a fishing pole with a giant tweezers on the end to reach her slacks & put them on. What a production. Rennie & I laughed ourselves silly watching her.

Rennie is no help at all! And she's so long she takes up most of Mommy's bed.

Then Aunt Susie, nurse Julia & I took her out in the sunshine for a walk. Julia pushed her in the wheelchair & I rode on Mommy’s shoulder. When we got to the level Mommy used her walker & walked a long way looking at all the flowers. Then we rode home. And we all had dinner in the living room instead of in bed. The sun was shining in on us. Mommy’s wheelchair was in a corner where she could look at our pretty Japanese terrace that our friend Mike Flaherty is taking care of for us and all the flowers people have sent in the living room And she was laughing instead of crying from the pain. So it was a really good day finally I’m happy to report.

Well, Pip pip as Uncle Richard Mineards would say. I don’t know what it means but it sounds funny.
