Mother's residence

Since arriving home from Hawaii it has been go!go!go! to move Mum from one aged care hostel to another. Yesterday she took up residence in her new "home". Unfortunately her room is not as large as her previous one. It is quite nice though. Hopefully she is relatively content. Joe and San returned to Sydney today. It is great to think she is being looked after 24/7 and that I can pop in to see her (or not) at my convenience. No more rushing off to Orange to pick her up or just visit. Even the fact that she can go "home" after spending the day here and the responsibility of showering etc. is no more on me. Not that I mind doing it but it seems to take up the whole morning. The staff seem to be very attentive. I have to buy a bottle of dry ginger ale so she can have a pre-dinner whiskey!
