Pocumtuck Ridge, south end to Pine Nook Road and back. Rode this once a couple of years ago and it was bumpety-bumpety-bump, lots of roots and small racks. Right on the line between no big deal, and unpleasant. Funny enough, it hasn't changed.
Made all the ups but one.
And stopped on the way home to see Jim Henderson and go over courses planned for Paugusset (Saturday afternoon, weekend after the NAOC). Should be nice.
-------------------------
And this is a little note I sent out to family regarding the state of things in Litchfield. I go there every week, but I have it very easy. It's the women doing the direct care that are the saints --
Just a few more thoughts.
Things are changing. She is getting weaker. One result is that she is no longer (or at least much less) pushing away help with respect to walking and feeding. The former, she was always pushing help away, wanted to walk on her own. Now she really needs help, and seems glad to have it. The latter, she used to really fight. This morning Jenn just started feeding her breakfast, one spoonful at a time, and she didn't object at all.
Angelo will put in a ramp this week. Walking may not be possible before long.
It's also getting harder to have conversations, and what conversations there are are much simpler, but it's important to keep trying.
There's no way of knowing what will come. The goal is to keep her safe, keep her clean, give her good nutrition, and keep her home. As I said last week, the staff right now is giving her excellent care.
One thing that hasn't changed — she seems happy, rarely complains about anything. That is a blessing.
