She is doing pretty well, all things considered, still at home, has care coming in (and help with groceries, etc.) I am currently glad she is still able to live at home, since it limits exposure compared to assisted living. It's a one-story house, and she can get along pretty well for now. I spoke to her today and she's still going on about politics and who Biden should pick!
