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.

We've fallen hard, today, out of visit week.
MCS & BIL are headed back to Colorado. I wish Mom and I were able to take two days on the road to drive out of visit week and contemplate, in the womb of road noise, all that happened. Instead, we're reeling from the drop back into our two-sided life.
There is much to report including updated blood glucose numbers. There are gaps in my recording and lots of blips out of normal range but none of this affected my mother's high merriment, deep satisfaction and wry vitality throughout the week. Some important decisions were made about living arrangements that I'll cover as I catch up over the next few days. Tonight I just want to mention that a very successful visit week is over, I haven't forgotten this site and more reports will be forthcoming.
