I just phoned my mom to do my every-other-day check up on my grandmother. Tammy answered the phone, so she and I talked for about 20 minutes before my mom took over. While talking to Tammy she was explaining to me that her hands are full - she is taking care of my grandmother when the nurses aren’t there and now, she is taking care of my mom. My mom has managed to burn her calf and now it’s really infected.

I asked Tammy how she managed to burn herself on her calf. You are not going to believe this..

My mom burned her calf while ironing the sofa. Yes, ironing the sofa. My mom is known for ironing strange things - placemats, her drawers (lol, sorry mom) and even her socks. The sofa, however, is new to me.

She’s going to have it looked at tomorrow, so hopefully that infection starts to heal up soon. My grandmother is doing OK but isn’t much better. As Tammy said, she’s in her own little world right now. She doesn’t know who anyone is, where she’s at or anything like that. She talks out of her head a lot. Her vitals are improving though, so at least that’s a plus.
