Elder care tomorrow. I've told her friend's, (none of them like him and they can't understand why she is with him). I'm definitely trying to tell as many people that can help the situation that I can. Her friends are going to stop by and if the heat is up they are going to be very vocal

I hate that her stroke has given her a laziness. She used to be on the go all the time. In the rehab she wasn't speaking her lessons out loud, (I figured that out) so I told on her to her speech therapist who did not seem surprised at all. But after that Mom started speaking better so I know she started speaking her lessons out loud.
