In control. Maybe.

Getting better. I guess - because I haven't run to the toilet for a few days now. But all is not 100% inside....if you know what I mean.

 BEST event this week was that Dear Son came home for 3 nights and took over the cooking duties. I felt so much more relaxed, just knowing that another human being was at home taking care of stuff.

 A registered letter addressed to Dear Son arrived from a real estate agent in Okaasan's home town - a valuation of the land  and house - and she just took it from the front door and left it on the kitchen table. But I wonder. She must have seen what kind of company it was from and where it was from. Did it not set off any questions in her mind?

 I know he is busy at the moment and his time off is busy too, but I think he is skating on thin truth-ice with this topic. Better to tell her about Older Brother and get on with sorting out the house with Okaasan's knowledge (patchy) and consent (probably also patchy).

 Anyway. Hope it doesn't blow up on MY watch.....

 Onwards into February.

 Sapporo Snow Festival starts next week and then in 3 weeks time i'm gonna be a volunteer at the Asian Winter Games, nicely situated at the information counter in the biggest, oldest hotel in town. Near a Starbucks.

    I'm so pleased Dear Son was able to get home and take care of you.
    I'm very impressed at how well you managed the hospital trip with her.
    Glad you're feeling better and that you got a few days to recupperate.

    I may be wrong but I think she is no longer making this kind of connections. Like the hospital thing. She went with you and took the medicine without reacting as we would expect her to do - the health beliefs, the anti doctors stance, etc, they all kind of vanished. It may be the same thing. The name of the city does not ring a bell anymore.

      Maybe....but I am carefully NOT mentioning the name of her old home city or Older Brother, in case it sparks a trail of thought I am not equipped linguistically to survive!

    Maybe DS should talk to a lawyer about getting a power of attorney to legally represent okaasan while she still can sign it having some awareness of what she is doing. This could save him a lot of trouble in the future.

      He should. I badger him on that topic...but at the moment he is in ski season mode. So till the snow melts nothing much will happen.
