Mom is improving daily and seems to be feeling better although she&#8217;s still taking stuff for pain. Her dark bruises were almost all gone by the time I got there but the aches have a way of letting her know who\u2019s boss and she still has a knot on her forehead. She has two more doctor appointments this week and we hope for more good results.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'\">I helped out in the store every day and was able to help move things around as she directed. I changed display areas several times, vacuumed and tried to keep up with the things that are hard for her to do.

Becky and I have been friends since she was in college and I was in her wedding 15 years ago. She was not able to attend my wedding as her brother got married out of state on my wedding day.
