Thank you Betsy. Thankfully my mom is relatively young compared to Tom (20 year age difference), so I'm not at the point of taking care of her so much. She has perforated eardrums due to chronic ear infections that she never had looked at because she was too busy taking care of other people. The doctors seem to think her ears will heal with time, but meanwhile it is very difficult because she can't understand what anyone says the first time, and with Tom's current condition, it's important that another person be at doctor's appointments, etc. to hear for her. Plus she can't hear Tom when he needs her help, can't hear the phone ring, etc. Tom and I were laughing today that it is convenient that she can't hear when we want to talk about her!
Donnie - I'm jealous that you got to see Sooner's house!
Kaussandra! You go with the chickens in town - I had mine for two years and my neighbors across the street never knew they were there until I told her. I think it's a good idea to get a few meaties - depending on what you order, you can butcher them at 6 weeks or so, so you don't have to keep them very long...although they'll eat everything in sight and grow right before your eyes during that 6 weeks!
