Hello Family and Friends,

 

The flu has hit hard here in the West.  Mom's facility was closed to outside visitors for a few weeks.  We just recently got in to see her, but had to have on masks.  Trish went earlier this week and so I wasn't too shocked when Mom thought I was her.  I thought she would be upset since I hadn't seen her, but luckily she thought I was Trish and that eased her emotions.  As usual I took her a treat and some sort of activity   Her taste in treats change with the season;  Summer it is usually frozen lemonade or iced carmel latte's from McDonalds and the winter is usually a cookie and decafe coffee from Paradise Bakery.  Whatever treat she likes, usually is soft due to her lack of dentures.  I know many of you think she looks very different and that would be because no glasses and no dentures.  Both items were lost in the transition.  We actually think she may have flushed both items down the toliet.  She went through a phase of doing that.  But no need to worry, Maryland Gardens make sure here food is chopped up good so there are no issues with that.   Activitiy wise she loves magazines and sometimes we will look at picture books, photo albums or color.  She is always pleased to do either one.
