Update on my Neighbor

Walked over to check on my neighbor. This is the elderly neighbor that the ambulance took to the hospital back in December. Both she and her husband are both at home but have around the clock care. Her husband did not know who I was. He is 90 something I believe. She was sitting at the table and has lost a lot of weight. But she seemed in good spirits. We talked for a minute. She told me she would share her not so good journey on another day. She had complications from surgery and now has pneumonia. She is also close to 90 years old. Glad to at least see both of them at home. This coleus plant is from her garden. She has several gardens someone else will have to maintain now.

@CarolDM That is not good that she has pneumonia. Did her husband ever know you?

@CarolDM Does he have dementia or something that he did not remember you?

It is always so sad to see the people aging. You are a good person to keep an eye on them. I am sure she is very happy to see you.

@CarolDM The colors on the coleus are beautiful. I always loved that plant and there are so many different colors.

At least they are home and together so that's something. The coleus looks very healthy.

I am glad you went to check on them, no one can live forever unfortunately, but it is nice they have each other.

So sad. I'm glad they are still together in their own home. I think about my husband and me and what we will do when we get to that age. You are an angel for checking on them. Is that a coleus? It's beautiful.
