Husband printed out email from bank. He said is mom going to askbrother if he started online account and changed password. I toldhim I wasnt going to tell mom right now. Thatbrother and mom would get real upset. He srugged his sboulders. And said as long as no one gets in the account. And walked away.
I justcalledmom. Therapist said she would be late. I had tocall momto tell her. Talked tobrother. He did set uponeline acount and changed poasscode. So one less thi g to wory about.
Only mom tells me her arm swelled a little cause her. Sleave wasnt washed. And she hand washed it so it took three days to dry. And she has lympodema. And the icy hot gave her more pain instead of making her better. And she is having trouble getting dressed more than she used to cause of the pain. Asked me to buy her some larger sweaters and shirts. She said she wished I lived in same town as her. I said for the second time in the past few days. You should hire someone to help you dress and do things. You can afford it. The first time there was excuses and then silence when I shot down the excuses. Then a change of subject. This time it was we'll see. Then change of subject.

Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz


Does she have any kind of compression bandages for the Lymphedema? Otherwise I'd address this with the therapist to see if they can alleviate it somewhat with a massage. Or, is all this in place already?
See, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. It sounds like things are working in a better direction.

I think part of your brother's problem is that your mother covets him; a little too much! He needs a push once in awhile! Why would he let her compression sleeve stay wet for three days when it could dry in 15 minutes in the dryer? Or didn't she tell him it was wet and waited to complain to you?
Anyway, it's a good day for you, I'm happy for you.
