Sickness decided to camp out in my respiratory system this morning and I had to skip work. That left Mom's breakfast unsupervised. My hard work paid off though -- Mom stuck with her diet and even went for a long walk while I was sleeping!
After some medication and extra sleep, I was back on my feet in time to oversee our lunches right before we headed out the door. Which reminds me...
No More Cast!
We took a trip to the clinic today and Mom's cast was removed from her left wrist! Waiting on her for an hour tested my patience and I seriously considered finding a pair of scissors and doing it myself next time. Nonetheless, we were elated that Mom was set free. This incident led to a humorous remark from the Doctor as he was giving Mom instructions for therapy:"Don't be doing anything strenuous with your wrist right away. No pushups or anything."
How did he know???
We won't have any trouble adjusting Mom's cardio/strength training so she can tackle it single-handedly. Literally.

Lesson Learned today: even if your trainer is sick, you can still decide to exercise and eat right on your own.
Go Mom!

Love you Mom. :) That's why I'm doing this. <3
ReplyDeleteYou girls are doing a great job! I so need to get on your exercise/diet plan. It is so hard for me to eat right because I don't take the time to cook right...that's my excuse, and I'm stickin' to it.
ReplyDeleteLove you both!!!
