Ingrid arrived to caretake and Reenie and I headed to Farmer's Market. We picked up just about any vegetable, fruit or fish that was noted on the list of high potassium content. We'z gonna stuff that girl with 'tassium!
When we got back, Ingrid reported that Mary had eaten a sampler of luncheon meats and cheeses that Ingrid had prepared.
This is how we found them in the master bedroom, watching a TiVo'd recording of an Agatha Christie mystery. Shawna, knowing a good thing when she sees it, was collecting pets and loves from Ingrid.
And the surprise! We are using the intercom feature on our cordless phones so that Mary can summon us whenever she needs us. Reenie appeared at the morning call and found Mary on the chaise lounge (as in the picture) instead of laying in bed.
Reenie's comment, "Oh, did Pat get you up?"
Mary. "No, I did it myself!"
Reenie and I had been helping her sit up from the prone position and the rest of the movements she has been doing on her own. Having her sit up in bed is a big improvement! Yeah!!
As for Ingrid, she apparently pulled a neck muscle yesterday and is using the brace to minimize stress so she can work tonight. Thus, the collar you see in the picture.
