January 3

Not much has changed over the last 2 days.  Judy's routine is to get up in the morning for physio and a shower.  Audrey is faithfully visiting Judy every morning and makes sure the Queen's personal effects are alphabetized then placed in right angles to the equator.  Judy does like organization.  After morning activities, Judy usually has some meds that help her to rest so she can be as radiant as ever when I visit after 3 pm.  The girls have enjoyed having the luxury of time over the holidays to visit their mom every day.  Tomorrow is back to the salt mines for both girls. They are looking forward to using the can openers I gave them in their Christmas Stockings.  The can openers are used to open up a great big old can of "you know what" if students misbehave. Of course, I supplied them with cans of "you know what".  Actually, the cans are full of Stag Chili (I just turned the labels around) that their Uncle David left in my pantry so they really do contain "you know what".  Mary is quite excited because she traded in her 2011 Rav for a 2016 Corolla.  She is sentimentally attached to Corollas because she was brought home from the hospital as a newborn in our old 86 Corolla.  Judy and the girls seem to be in a good place emotionally.  Judy's condition seems quite stable.  No drastic changes.  She looks as bright and beautiful as ever.  In an earlier post, I mentioned Judy will be having a csytoscopy sometime in the coming week. Apparently, the proper term is cystograph.  Oh yeah, and pic line should actually be picc line.
