Catching up with Sis C tonight - mom is doing a bit better today than yesterday. We chart mom's ups and downs with the smallest of measuring sticks. It's amazing, really, how the mind and heart can encompass the most complex thoughts and deepest feelings, yet also focus on the tiniest of milestones, only discernible to those of us who know mom well.
Since mom is still a bit shaky, I asked Sis C to talk with her about doing without her slippers inside the house. It's not quite like taking the car keys away, but it is changing a lifetime habit. At least as long as we've been around. I've never understood why anyone would wear any footwear in the house unless it's socks on a freezing night, but mom has been the butt of family jokes for years because of her penchant for indoor footwear and her notorious clumsiness even when healthy.
She once fell up the stairs. So the crocs are out. Tabis, anyone?
