Busy day. La Suprema tested out her refurbished wheelchair. It's the first time she's taken it for a spin with the new tires. She liked it. It goes a lot faster, and is easier to push now. We met with a bunch of people at Kaiser Neurology. We are all on the same page now and working towards her physical therapy/recovery. Nancy gave me a peptalk about how palliative care was not something to be afraid of. I am really glad she's on our team of people helping my mom. I lived up to my promise, and took my mom to get her nails done. While she was doing that, I finished up the day at work. Afterwards brought her into meet my co-workers. Niki and Brian came out to meet her. They were very cool. Gentle, curious, kind, and both made sure to tell her what a good job I do and what a pleasure it is to have me there. She beamed. She had a moment of mother's pride. I could tell it made her happy. After that, we swung by and picked up Millie and headed off to Phyllis' Giant Hamburger joint. Mom had a Giant bacon cheeseburger, and I had a Jr. Burger. She certainly is eating like she's on steroids. It's kind of funny that such a small woman can really pack it away. She and Millie were funny to watch, they both kept forgetting who's drink was who's. -So they shared. They were happy to see eachother. And I was really glad too. I miss Mille. I wish she was still across the street. Dropped off Millie and came home. Found out that ladies night was cancelled. But that's ok, since I was tired anyway. I'm glad to be chilling out tonight at home. Lot's of stuff happened today. My mom said that it was a hard day. I think it was all of the stuff we did, in such a short time. I love her. I'm really lucky I've got her as a mom. Now, I'm off to go master algorithms.
