Well Monday wasn't a very exciting day as I did my customary routines to start the day around a 6'ish roll out. I took my handful of Nutrilite vitamins and supplements along with a little apple cider vinegar and orange juice to wash them down before having my proverbial cup of hot green tea laced with some turmeric while I posted this ramble and then spent a few quiet minutes in prayer with my Creator. We are now facing a crisis moment with Nancy's mom GG, as she is very anxious with us leaving towards the end of the month for New Orleans and then for the cabin in the mountains. Since she slipped off the edge of bed and onto the floor she has been a mess with all kinds of hospital stays, doctors appointments and with son Eric flying down to spend nearly two weeks with her as well as Arianne and Erica coming up from Miami to visit. They all have pandered to her and made her believe she could no longer be alone especially at nights so Nancy spent the night at her house last night.
I headed out around 8'ish for the Rec. on my bike for a couple hours of pickle ball. We are now having a minimal crowd but did manage two courts in action for most of the morning. I left with a wet shirt around 10'ish and made a stop at the library to return some reads. There is another issue with GG as she has always been a voracious reader and now she has decided she doesn't want to read anymore but wants one of else to sit around and watch her in case she may fall but she refuses to use a cane or a walker as prescribed by her doctor in case she should lose her balance.
Eric, GG, Amy and Eliza came for lunch and then I took him to the airport for his flight back to Michigan. I brought GG back to the house so she could eat with us then took her home for awhile until Nancy could get away as she was watching Eliza while Amy and the rest of the family went to a Ray's game at the Trop. Eliza fell asleep after her bath and it was after 10 before they picked her up on their way home. The Ray's lost to Tyler's home town team the Royals.
After supper I headed out to the back yard and worked there for an hour or so as the temps had dropped from the 90's to the low 80's. We are still very dry here in central Florida with wild fires everywhere. Luckily our county is so built up there is very little tinder for wild fires but north of us there is lots of forests and palmettos which are great for burning. I heard from sister Dee that Paw Paw is really planning on going back to his house in Winchester which is not conducive to his mobility. The bathroom is on the second floor which means he would have to go up and down the stairs several times a day which leaves him vulnerable to once again falling and reinjuring that hip which was replaced in March. It's been since September since he was last in the house and while we know his desire is to go back I don't think that would be a wise decision; but I'm just one fourth of the siblings and don't live anywhere close to offer any assistance except to make that point, oh well.
That was about it for the day except Nancy prepared a delicious pot roast with home grown carrots and onions. It's obvious we are facing issues with both her mom and Paw Paw and all at the same time. I spoke with our "mountain mom" Helen and while she is a little older at 89 than GG she is so independent because she is constantly working, driving and doing so much for herself besides sitting around worrying about what calamity she is having or what doctor she needs to see daily, LATER
