Well, finally Mom is on the mends. It has been a long and scary time for both of us. She has been so very sick. It was the cold for hell. There is really nothing that can be done for one of these except cough syrup, fluids and rest.
But when you are almost 85 a cold like this is bad news.
I am finally 100%, but just now. I have had the hand on cough that I thought would never go away. Mom is 1 week behind me in recovery so I hate she is going to have this long lasting cough before she gets well.
Things like this knock old people on their asses. It has been so hard on me. I have been so scared and stressed. I have had an escalation of my symptoms and lost some very valuable ground in my progress towards advancing my ability to go outside. I guess it is the old 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
My depression has increased some what, but I am thinking it is just due to being overly stressed and tired and scared.
So I am going to just wait it out. I know I will perk up once I can relax. That is something I have not been able to do in some time. Plan on starting right now LOL
