Heh...it was a major accomplishment to teach her to use her cell phone.

No, Nana will never be on the Internet. She would be a lot better off if her other kids cared to come see her. But we're not holding our breath for that.

In reality, while we know she's lonely, she's in much better spirits than last time (granted, she's not in as much pain). She just doesn't realize that once she tells us something (as in the cheese reference), that she doesn't need to tell us another 20 times. But that's part of being old.

I have been informed, however, that "applesauce helps."

I filed that under "Too Much Information."

I'd file it under "Good to know" ;~D

I can barely use my cell phone. Luckily the only voice messages we get are from TracFone. But Nana might like this site Totally Hip. Don't know if they have a support group for caregivers :-)
