7 minute Audio Introduction to The Mom & Me Journals
is to undermine the isolation of the caregiving experience
by offering all, especially our loved ones, a window into our lives.
As I post to this journal I think of our loved ones and their families,
how busy and involved we all are, and that,
if and when they come to this site they can be assured
that they will miss nothing in our lives and will, thereby, recognize us
and relax easily into our arms and our routines
when we are again face to face.

Since my last post...
...my focus has been primarily on my mother, and that focus has been extremely concentrated. The entire procedure, including The Cleansing, has been an odd and surprising experience. Things are going unusually well but I haven't had much time to do more than pay attention to what is going on with my mother. I expect to be able to carve out some time this weekend to post an update on The Colonoscopy Experience; there is much to report. In the meantime, know that my mother is well, tolerated both The Cleansing and The Procedure well, there have been some unusual and heartening developments, I've learned a great deal in a few days that I will be using to flesh out my essay on Doctors and Patience, and, while tired, I'm much, much encouraged by what's been going on and my determination to continue both my mother's unexpected rallying since the procedure and reporting here, in detail, is renewed, but is being pushed aside by my interest in keeping my attention honed in on Her in the Flesh, to the exclusion, for a short time, of Her in the Journal.
If you've been following us, stay tuned. Some surprises are in store.
