Amazing!  Seems like I can only get here every few days.  But am trying hard to make it more often.Good news is that Mom appears to be in some sort of remission with her paranoia.  When I took her grocery shopping the other day, although she did disappear as usual, she was only a little hyper when I found her.  She had the forethought to have me paged this time, but the store speakers were so low that I didn't hear it.  When we got home I was supposed to work on her check book.  WOW!  Mom looked at me and said "you have done so much today, please take it home with you."  I actually have the check book here with me. That will, at least for now, prevent any further check bouncing.  We are praising God for this because it simply isn't like Mom who feels she has to control everything.Today she called me with another plea to look up a new holistic doctor.  She is determined that she is going to correct both old age and a lifetime of doing as she pleases concerning her body.  Guess she feels that if she starts now, by the time she reaches 100 she will be like a 40 year old again.  :-)  Sure do wish things would work that way for all of us.As for me,  I am back to doing my P/T exercises and therefore my pain level is again reduced.  Between that and trying this old diet (but new to me) I have my hands full. This is a short term diet that can be used over and over.  So, with everything else going on, I know that I can concentrate on it for a week.  Then after a week or two of rest I can go back to it again.  I have heard & read lots of good reports about this.  Since the first 2-3 days equate to "cleansing," I know where lots of my time will be spent.  ROLF  (this time the R means running LOL)D/H & I have decided that we are both tired today and are actually going to bed early.  Boy is that different!!!  We don't normally see the pillows till at least 2 AM.  So, dear friends, have a wonderful night and hope all sleep well.
