We got a light dusting of snow last night.  As I went out to take my mother to the hospital again, this was what I found on our walkway.

So many kitty feet to make so many paw prints!

I love it!

Things went very quickly for my mother today; we barely waited 10 minutes in a busy waiting room before the nurse came for her.  Just the injection, a quick look at her eye, and we were done.  We’ll be back again tomorrow and likely the day after as well.

I left another 10 minutes earlier to pick up my mom, figuring I’d get her at home to put her knee brace on, only to find her already coming down the hallway, ready to go!  She refused to go back for her brace, but when I kept asking, she finally said “when we come back.”  So when we came back, I asked again!  I think she was hoping I had forgotten. :-D

So I finally got the brace on her.  Oh, what a lovely piece of engineering that thing is!  It’s beautiful!

Yeah, I’m a geek that way.

I told her to think of it like a prescription; just like she has to take her pills every day, she should wear her brace every day.  There are even people available where she lives that can help her put it on, if that’s a problem.

Of course, for all I know, she took it off as soon as I left, though she said she would wear it for the rest of the day.  I hope she will.

As for me, I think the next thing I will do is break out the handheld vacuum before I do anything else.  From where I am sitting as I write this, I can see 10 lady beetles crawling all over my window.  Well.  Not all of them are crawling.  I think several are actually quite dead.  :-o
