With Mom and my brother's family while having our lunch at the restaurant.

After more than a month of frequent visit to the hospital and continuous medication, my Mom told me that she can now walk again without using the walker. It is a great news. I checked her feet and the swelling is gone. I asked her if she want to go to the salon so we can have a hair cut. She agreed, so went to the salon at the mall to have her hair cut by a professional hair dresser. From there she told me she want to buy a cycling short that she needs to wear under her dress. I saw some socks and i told her that she also need those especially at night during cold weather. Before finally leaving the department store, she said she wants an earring so we find her a pair. I told her that we will have our lunch and asked her where she want to eat. Before we could decide my brother called and told us that they are the same mall. So I asked him to join us as we will also have our lunch. I am happy that my Mom can walk normally again. It's good to see that she don't get tired easily unlike the previous days when she can no longer stand for long. I hope she continuous to recover so we can visit other places again. How's you first day of May, friends?

Thank you. I am happy that she is already well. I am always reminding her to take her medicine religiously and avoid foods that might trigger the pain again.

@TheHorse We are talking about the need to reduce the uric acid. She needs to avoid shellfish and shrimps and same kind of foods.

It's good to hear your Mom is doing better now. Improvement can be slow at times, but it does sound like she was determined to walk on her own. I am sure you enjoyed the lunch with your family, too.

I am happy that she is doing everything for herself. Though there were times she seems hopeless. I told here she is only 77 and we still have a lot of places to visit. Thank you for dropping by.

@ARIES1973 Your mother should be careful when she walks as falling can be a problem. I am careful too. Thank you

Thank you. Yes, I am happy too that she can stand and walk even without the walker. I told her to be mindful of the food intake. We are also trying different brands of milk for the bones to find what she would like to drink. Please take good care of your health Sis.

Thank you so much. I also hope the same thing. I also hope that you can find a good place. We are also renting a house in our current place. I already found a lot but we are still saving so that we can build our own house.
