{Update #2} Mom Gets Feisty

Posted on by December 7, 2020avatar

Sunday; Update #2-My mom was asked *Woh’s the president?” as part of a standard orientation exam. She gave a complete rundown of the election, including the Georgia primaries. They couldn’t get her to stop her analysis. Afterward, I told her that she might miff off 50% of those she meets by expressing her views. Her response is priceless

I will be 92 in four weeks. What are they going to do to me? Serve me warm ginger ale?

I laughed all the way to the elevators.

Saturday My mom was admitted in congestive failure, severe anemia and the travails of extreme age. She is receiving the care she needs and may be able to go home after they *tune her up.* This is a relief. When a nurse in the ER asked “Who is President” in order to determine her mental state, he got more than he bargained for. It was a complete rundown of the election, the post-election and the coming Georgia runoffs. He started laughing, saying that she was definitely with the program. I sure hope I got her genes. She’s pretty amazing.

Thank you all for your kind prayers and thoughts.

    From the updated post:

    My mom….I sure hope I got her genes. She’s pretty amazing.

    Since you are already pretty amazing, Dee, I would suggest you have your mom’s “amazing” gene(s). 🙂

    (If only genes were given such easy-to-recognize names…very big sigh.)

    On a scale of 1-10 torture methods, warm ginger ale ain’t so bad 🙂

    So good to hear that your Mom is making a feisty comeback. An answer to prayer.

    Max: On a scale of 1-10 torture methods, warm ginger ale ain’t so bad

    Unless you know of Ginger Beer, i.e. Ginger Ale on Steroids.

    I’ve been there.

    Though with me the paramedic question was “Do you know where you are?”
    Answer? “DIRECTLY ABOVE THE CENTER OF THE EARTH.”

    dee,

    I’m thinking they need a new question for the mini mental, especially if they are also checking blood pressure. 😉

    Friend: I’m thinking they need a new question for the mini mental, especially if they are also checking blood pressure.

    Yeah, something that’s not political like “What city are we in?” or “Who did you used to be?”
