Somehow, in the "Flashback Flurry", I entirely skipped over the event of Mom's birthday. Angie was able to come, which was really great.
The bad part was, Mom had to make a trip to the dentist right on her birthday! She still has her own teeth, and two root prongs of a back molar had come out along with the tooth in question, and another root prong broke off and stayed in :-(((. Anyway, she seemed to be in quite a bit of pain as time wore on after that. Suppose it was very sensitive...and she couldn't really tell us anything much about what hurt or how badly it hurt, or where exactly it hurt! Finally decided she'd have to go to the dentist, and it turned out to be good she went. The root came out easily and the tooth right in front of it was ready to come out, too. Yikes...poor little Mama! She came through it better than expected, although of course was totally worn out. The dentist was real nice to her, and came by the nursing home after his workday was done to check on her.
These pictures were taken a few days after her birthday. The flowers (plant, actually) was from her kids. Amazingly enough, it is still blooming. You can see some of her cards. Don't think anything of it if you sent one and it is not visible--they were on a "rotation"!!
Then, a couple weeks ago, Mom's wing filled up again and she got a new roommate...so the card displays had to be condensed :-).
