So, Mom had her first doctor appointment since leaving Chandler. She did really well, navigating from the house to the car and then, in the parking lot, the sidewalk and the walk in to the doctor's office. Dr. Calle says Mom is doing really well. Her numbers are good and he reassured her that she is NOT taking too many medications - that the reason she is doing so well is BECAUSE of those meds. He is not sure exactly where the dizziness is still coming from - it could be from the meds or it could be something else. There were no reductions in anything about the meds, which disappointed Mom.
After the doctor, we came back home, had lunch and after Mom took a short little rest, we went out on what seemed to be her first little outing for something FUN!!! She wanted to go to Walgreens to pick up a few things and there were meds that needed to be picked up so off we went! She did really well. She seemed happy to be walking in the door of the store and after getting her a cart so it could do double duty as something to lean on, I went over to the pharmacy to ask about her pills while she looked around. Back at home, Mom seemed to feel triumphant and happy to have been out and doing something "normal". But by that time, she was ready for a good nap so that was what she did next!!
Guillermo and I have been hanging up a few pictures every day in our house. The rooms are starting to look very nice!
