Home again. The laundry has been started and Henry's had his bath. He got really dirty playing in Jack's backyard, but boy did he have fun! The drive home was fine- I slept at least half the way.
We spent nearly an hour with Meme today, and it was much better than yesterday. We took in some photos that I printed off the computer and she really liked them. Our conversation today was more about family and memories. I tried to talk a lot about things that happened years ago, since I think her long-term memory is better than her short-term memory. She would change some names around, but that's fairly normal for older people. She made a couple of off-the-wall comments, but they weren't nearly as strange as yesterday's visit. I think she's a lot more lucid in the mornings.
I'm going to try to write to her twice a week. I really feel bad that she's in the nursing home and in such rough shape. I wish there was more I could do.
We're going to be bums this evening- this week will be back to the norm for me with tutoring and classes, so I'll be busy. It's crunch time for the next several months. No more slouching off!
