Caregiver chat for the day:
I just got a telephone call from my Mother ... One of my Neighborhood Gal Pals Mom also now lives in the same Senior Living Community as my Mom - "The Two Moms" - well!
Her Mom called my Mom asking if I would go over and check on my Gal Pal ... her Mom had been trying to call her for hours with no answer ...
Gal Pal & her Hubby both have Covid! They're probably sleeping ... "oh but maybe you could go check on them and make sure they're okay. You know, they have no one to take care of them ... duh, hello! She knows that she has me and our other Neighborhood Gal Pals to do whatever they need! "Oh, but, but ... "
Let's throw into the middle of the mix that my Mom had to
emphatically profess that she didn't have Covid ...
"Have you been tested yet Mom?"
No, but I don't have a fever!
"Really? And why don't I believe you?"
WHATEVER ... let me go pop over there ... they live two streets over from us ...
I rang the bell, waited for them to get up out of bed, as I knew they were, and my Pal was mortified!
I said, "I was sent on a mission ... your Mom called my Mom to have me check on you. Are you alive?"
