Watch out for the babysitter!

Yes. Cindy is feeling weak while at home.  That is understandable since she had been in bed for ten days.  She feels that she was not ready to go home, that the doctors released her too soon.  But since there was no medical reason to keep her in the hospital, she had to choose between rehab and home.  The rehab she would go to is not ideal.  Cindy is well enough to walk a bit, so being at home was the better choice. That left me babysitting the baby sister.

Rita and Mary needed to help Rita’s sister and asked me to stay with Cindy for a few hours.  I felt like I was babysitting again.  We sat and watched TV together.   We also talked for a while.   When it was her nap time, I watched her sleep.  Nothing different than when we were kids.  And just like when we were little, I didn’t get paid to keep an eye on her.

My son, Paul, is staying with us for a little while.  This is a great help.  I feel better that someone is with Pauline when I’m not home.  She is not feeling well.  Sometimes her knee hurts, but her pain, nausea, dizziness, and sweats are getting worse.  She even cancelled the physical therapist today.  Pauline talked to her doctor who said that she wanted to check Pauline’s adrenal glands on Monday when Pauline goes to see the surgeon for a checkup on her knee.
