Lunch Out

My sister, Mom, and I had lunch at Scott's Seafood on the River today. I wasn't sure about Mom's ability make it through what is always a leisurely lunch experience, but she did just fine. Mom and Pam had Cioppino and a fancy Salmon dish (respectively) and I had the grilled Sole -- just like the last couple of times I ate there. They really do a great job of preparing it and it almost melts in your mouth.

We had just had a family meeting about what the future holds for Mom. Her Lymphoma is worsening and she is starting to feel some discomfort. She has decided that she does not choose to treat it or take any action to bring it back into remission. She will accept whatever devices or medications that will help her to feel more comfortable. Merrill Gardens is going to up the level of her assistance within the next couple of weeks. She is getting a sort of corset for her leg which (we hope) will lessen the swelling she currently experiences and she will need help putting it on in the morning and taking it off at night. We aren't sure what will happen next or how quickly the disease will progress, but we are getting ready for whatever comes.

In the meantime we had a lovely lunch on the Sacramento River.
