My Mother
My mother babies me right now. I guess I should be grateful but I feel like I am taking one step forward and two steps back. I just put the laundry in and it wiped me out. I want to try to do the dishes before she comes..there aren't many but I have exerted all of my energy for now. was there so much damage from the surgery that I will have to adjust my life. My son Scott told me that the Dr. called my family in and it was touch and go...at one point they were told that I had hours maybe days. I need to be out in the sunshine, but I am in my basement apartment and my only source of real light is if I open my door. I am still scared of falling I haven't taken the stairs without someone watching me. My son came and took me to and from church yesterday, so I did get out for a couple of hours. I ordered a new walker...one with a seat. When I get it I feel I will have more freedom. I will go for walks and won't have to worry about falling. I am going to try to do the dishes..hugs to all.
