Today was Mom's first day at the law firm. But first she had a doctor's appt to check on her blood sugar. Dad and I gave her a ride, and waited for her in the waiting room until she was finished. She did really well at her checkup, and the doctor was pleased by the 20 pounds that Mom lost in the month since her last visit. Mom was referred to a dietician and given a slew of prescriptions.
Dad and I dropped Mom off at the law firm downtown around noon, and then went out to run some errands. There were some parts Dad needed for his pickup, so we went to the Mazda dealer. He needed a cable for the tailgate and a radiator hose - the dealer said they would have to order each of them. We dropped off Mom's prescriptions, and then headed home.
Mom and Michelle got home from work about 4:30, dropped off by Garrett and his parents. Mom had a good first day and Michelle had nothing but good things to say about her progress. Mom was praising Michelle for how knowledgeable she was, and how all the coworkers had great things to say about Michelle.
In the evening, our entire group met up at the movie theater to watch Ladder 49, http://ladder49.movies.go.com/main.html with Joaquin Pheonix and John Travolta. It was a good movie, well written and acted. The ending was depressing, but it was well done. It felt more like a well done tv show than a movie... I guess that as tv gets better and better, it's hard to have movies stand apart from them.
