Last Friday I took an earlier flight, 5:55, arriving home about 8, which was good. Saturday I had my hair cut before practicing organ. After lunch Randy and I went to Safeway to shop, then I put a pork roast in the oven for pulled pork later. We had thought Sarah and Erik were spending the night with us after attending a wedding in Woodside, but they decided to come to Alameda Sunday afternoon instead. So we spent the afternoon with them, then I left on a 5:00 flight. The Southwest schedule has changed recently, so the nonstop flights are either 5:00 PM, 8:00, or 10. The 8:00 is ok says E, but by the time we get back to the house and settle in it's nearly 11. So...leave Randy sooner or arrive later at E's, hard choice. Taking the earlier flight on Friday will compensate a bit, so that's how we booked the tickets for May.
My right thumb feels better now. I've adapted certain movements, such as pulling up my socks with two fingers and avoiding the thumb, and using my left hand for some things. But I'm sure it will continue to be an issue.
Tomorrow e sees the neurologist, a makeup appointment for the one missed last month when she was in the hospital with the respiratory virus. K's mom is driving out today from SoCal to take the appointment with us. Her medical background provides added insight, and K and E appreciate her presence for these meetings.
Little e will have two grandmas here for a couple of days. I may need to watch myself while she's here, make sure she gets baby time too. Sometimes I try to put myself in Jonnie's shoes; I'm sure she's glad I am able to care for e, but she probably envies me a tiny bit. She has another granddaughter who's almost three and lives less than an hour away from her; they see each other fairly often. But e is her son's first child, and seeing him with a baby must be very, very special to her, as it is for me and E.
