---------------
Gma got really worn out by the visitors (Social Worker & Nurse).  She exhibited greater memory problems and difficulty getting into the kitchen for lunch after they left.  I was going to write about how well she *has been* the last several days in both cognitive and mobility...  But, not now...

I've got her in her chair resting with the admonition for her to sleep and not socialize with me.
She needs to regain her energy (which is being sucked up and stolen by the tumor).

So, it's good news / bad news.....
