HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
“Mom, you should get your feet fixed!”
“I know, but I’m not in any pain. I just can’t wear heels. Guess I can’t wear open toe shoes either? Everyone asks me what’s wrong with my toes.” Mom 83 responded.
Daughter 54 decided, “I’m not going to debate anymore. I’m going to do this Hammer Toe surgery while I’m still young enough to prevent some of the deformity you have. I’m going to have both feet done at the same time so I only have to be laid up once.”
So, eight days ago Daughter 54 had her surgery at Swedish Out Patient in Seattle. And Butt-mobile is serving her well!
Then three-days-ago, an unwelcome visitor appeared - COVID. A trip to Bellevue Community College tested POSITIVE for Grandma 83 and Granddaughter 12. Daughter 54 and Granddaughter 14 remain NEGATIVE. Daughter 54 announces, “No way am I going to get Covid and not be able to go for my follow-up doctor’s appointment and take off my bandages.”
Typical of the Daughter’s efficiency of handling life, OPERATION ISOLATION is under way: A ZOOM MEETING is arranged for a family conference.
The basement and guest room becomes the Covid Free Zone. Granddaughter 14 announces, “Grandma, you and granddaughter 12 have to stay in your rooms, We all have to wear the N95 masks if we go out to the kitchen and only one person in the Kitchen at a time. No food preparation!”
Cousin brought over snacks. Neighbor and housekeeper have provided soup for lunch and Salmon for dinner. Front Door delivery for needed items. Such is life??
We’ll see if it all works out. Nothing like friends and relatives for putting Life’s Challenges IN THE BEHIND!
