The Comfort Zone

The Meers sent me these photos yesterday. They are from December 1979 when the Meers visited Batavia. We're not exactly sure why Shari thinks she is in the witness protection program and cannot show her face in a photo. I'm also hoping these photos to inspire the rest of you to send embarrassing photos of the Moll family. The 70's were such a terrific fashion disaster and I know we fully participated so send your evidence my way.

Deb has been at Mom and Dad's since Friday night and has made a huge effort to keep Mom comfortable. She has the east end of the living room set up as Mom's sanctuary and has outfitted one of the big "lazy boy" chairs with extra foam and heating pads and a rolling hospital like table. All of Deb's nursing training is coming in handy too. I'm not sure she can teach me to be as an effective of a caregiver but I am looking forward to trying when I get to Batavia tomorrow.

After a conversation with the oncologist, Mom has been switched over to a ocycontin/oxycodone combination of drugs. These seem to be doing a better job of managing the pain and giving Mom more comfort.
