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.

There are a bunch of us that rarely comment that are praying, too, and in wholehearted agreement the blog can wait.
Hoping your mom is doing better today.
Our Father & Glory Be said for your mother and those joining in caring for her, and the excellent completion of your kitchen.
Dee, praying for you and your mom.
Praise the Lord that your Mom is doing better!
I’m trying to forget the election and your mother remembers all the details! I guess that is a good sign ๐
Your Mom sounds like one sharp interesting lady.
From the updated post:
Since you are already pretty amazing, Dee, I would suggest you have your mom’s “amazing” gene(s). ๐
(If only genes were given such easy-to-recognize names…very big sigh.)
To God be the glory! So glad your mom is doing better, will keep praying. Take whatever time you need away from the blog–we’ll still be here.
Praise God for good news!
Please read my new entry above for a really good laugh.

On a scale of 1-10 torture methods, warm ginger ale ain’t so bad ๐
So good to hear that your Mom is making a feisty comeback. An answer to prayer.
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.”
Great news! Your mom sounds like a hoot!
dee,
I’m thinking they need a new question for the mini mental, especially if they are also checking blood pressure. ๐
Headless Unicorn Guy,
That stuff is NASty.
Yeah, something that’s not political like “What city are we in?” or “Who did you used to be?”
