Dr's appt: A fun day was had with Mom and the Guzman ladies!

This was a nice day. Eva decided to bring Mom from Big Spring to Midland for today's dr's appointment. Felicia also came with them. They went to Josie's home first and swapped vehicles and then they came to pick me up. Mom's appointment went really well.
While Josie and Eva accompanied Mama back to the room to speak to the RA doctor, Felicia and I stayed in the main waiting room. We had a nice conversation; we made one another laugh. I kidded about how during past appointments when Aurora and/or Betty came with us I would offer to let them go to the back room with Mom and Josie to meet with the doctor. They always said it was okay and kindly passed up my offer and allowed for Josie and me to accompany Mom. Eva was the first to say yes to my offer. I told Felicia that 'there went my bluff'. Ha, ha, ha. Not really. I am always ready to tag up with any of my sisters and allow them to meet with Mom's RA nurses and doctor - especially when they come in from out-of-town to bring Mama to the appointments. I knew that Josie would share more finite details later with me about what was discussed with the doctor. That is exactly what she did do, matter-of-fact, after our Big Spring familia left and Josie brought me home. She stayed and visited with me until time to get Alex. We had a nice, long visit and caught up on lots of stuff.
Josie and I were thrilled at having had Eva and Felicia with us this time around. We all went and had lunch after the doctor's appt. Mama felt like having chicken strips so we went to What-a-burger. Her appt's are usually scheduled on Tuesdays which also means that we usually have lunch at Rosa's Cafe to take advantage of "Taco Tuesdays". For a while we were getting tired of eating there, but because it had been a long time since we had been to Rosa's, we were looking forward to eating there today. Mama usually enjoys eating their enchilada plate special. Josie was going to treat Felicia as a belated birthday gift to her since it is one of Felicia's fav places to eat here in Midland. I was taken aback when I heard Mama say she wanted to eat chicken strips; maybe more disappointed to the point to me almost letting out a loud doggie-like "arghhh" - ha, ha, ha. Josie later added that she was also surprised by this, but as always...what Mama wants, Mama gets. The food is also good at What-a-burger. Maybe it was better anyway because Rosa's tends to get crowded on any day during the lunch-rush and since it was Tuesday, it was for certain going to be a mad-house. Regardless, we were all together and we had good food to eat and good things to talk about and to laugh about as always.
Mom continues to be in good health. TTL!!! Her RA doctor had only positive things to say/add about her current health status; in his view with tests his office has conducted on Mama, he says she is doing great. We (her family) agree. She is in great spirits and is certain she has beaten the thing which remains to be moot and held at bay. Her faith and attitude continue to lead & guide her and to sustain her and we are lucky and blessed to have her as our Matriarch. We should all be as strong...physically, spiritually and mentally. Life is indeed as good as one makes it and with Mom guiding us, with our love, with our faith, with our mind -over-matter/positive attitudes, we will all lead happy, long lives.
