Wednesday Hugh Update

I wanted to check in with Mom before the holiday and of course asked her all the latest news about Hugh. First of all, he is scheduled for "release" on Friday. I can only IMAGINE how it will feel for him to be able to sleep in his own bed after a month away. 

Mom laughed when she told me that he's formed his own little "Bingo clique" at Homewood. Apparently, Hugh and several other "inmates" meet for lunch and then sneak off for some clandestine bingo. Leave it to Hugh to find the quasi-illicit activity at a retirement home. Apparently, though, his little cohort has been leaving in stages this week - so he'll probably be ready to go on Friday.

Tomorrow, Mom plans to meet Hugh at Homewood for a Thanksgiving Luncheon. Knowing how much Hugh loves the food there, this will undoubtedly be a big hit. I wondered aloud how Hugh will cope with coming home to "normal" food. Fortunately, Judy will be there to help out - since we ALL know how cooking-challenged my dear mother can be.

Hugh's friend Dean will be picking Hugh up at about 2pm on Friday. Mom has "waved off" my visit for the same day, as it will probably be a bit too hectic. So, think of Hugh on Friday around 2pm - home at last!
