Paul relates that Mom's visit with Dr. Lavin went pretty smoothly this morning. Dr. L feels that she's as healthy as can be expected and chalks up last week's incident to her standing up too quickly. I met Mom just before noon and she barely recollected the visit. I set her up for getting a flu shot at BG this afternoon (Quinn, Dr. L said her last pneumonia shot was still current).
My visit with Mom yesterday evening went normally. I like to get her out of BG when I go during the week and was able to talk her into having dinner at Panera. Believe it or not, she didn't order a grilled cheese sandwich but had turkey breast instead! When we got up to leave, she walked right out of one of her shoes. I'm sure she would have noticed this herself by the time we got to the exit ;~)
Mom's conversing skills do seem to be dwindling somewhat further. While adjectives and adverbs still come freely, verbs fairly well and pronouns heavily, it's those damn nouns that just don't want come out. When one-on-one with her, I give her all the time she wants to work towards completing thoughts or stories on her own. Only when she seems to be getting frustrated with her slow tellings do I ever try to 'fill in the blanks'. Most of the time though, she doesn't get too flustered and will often put the tale on pause with some self-deprecating humor.
That's all for now. It's now raining and autumn out there so... Watch out for the wet leaves.
LTA, Danny

I'll take that as a good report.
On another note, I thought I'd share a short news bit I read in the York Daily Record. This is what I'm finding wrong with America (well, one thing wrong).
(Headline) - MEMORIAL HELD FOR SOCCER MOM
"A memorial was held for a woman who made headlines last year for carrying a loaded handgun to her young daughter's soccer game and who was fatally shot this year in a murder-suicide.
"Family and friends remembered Melanie Hain, 31, on Tuesday during a service at a funeral home in Lancaster.
"Instead of flowers, her family requests donations be made to the Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association."
Hmmph! I'll refrain from rushing to my checkbook.
I'm going to stick with 1/3 of the advise that Mom tells me was passed down from her father... "We don't talk about politics, religion or money". Guess which of the 3 I've vowed not to discuss ;~)
Did anyone watch balloon boy flying around colorado today?
