- It has been some time since Mom had a fall or etc. She was leaning to far and slipped. I was around but did not see. All of a sudden there was a voice say Mrs P are you ok?? I have been able to work almost full time 5 days per week. One weekends I...
- Hey There, I am trying to nab a moment to myself to keep in touch with people, find and lend an ear. It is almost impossible now as Mom turned some corner in her mind and is so demanding. She is still lucid in a way but the other that comes with it...
- I was at work. Gotta a call from Moms day pal. Mom has an independent streak a mile wide. This lead her to running into a plate glass window with a motorized shopping cart! Bent the basket a bit. No other damage to her or the window! She thought it...
- We all hear about reducing stress. Going for a walk seems to be the easiest solution and always recommended by my DR.I see many out and about taking a break. Elderly with use of cane, walker, wheel chair. Whatever, the people are out doing...
- The Easter Bunny came and is sitting in my Moms recliner. It is complaining, nagging me about the house not being picked up, and had a temper tantrum when the visiting nurse was here...because the med list was being noted and the EB felt ignored....
- Hi Everyone, I have missed you while away from the cyber world. My health really went down hill and Moms. I have to work sick or not by design of the employment so all energy went to Mom, work, and trying to breathe. I had strep and secondary issues...
- Well here is a first. My Mom has an ulcer or boil on the top of her foot. I worry of course because the instep is now blueish in the veins. It looks bad. The DR has no clue other than an infection. So I ponder....still. And darn my luck, I am sick...
- Well, since I came to stay with Mom 3 years ago she has not been happy with many things. Dogs bark and smell, house is not cleaned, too much stuff around. I hired a cleaning person. Rented storage. Put dogs in daycare.None of it is enough and she...
- Well, my Mom looked at me today and told me to go take a shower and don't forget to wash my glasses so I could see better.Hmmn, see better than what I thought. So I just said " think I will leave them dirty so if bored can look up and pretend I am...
- I meant to get here for a Happy Valentines Day to all. Will say this now anyway and hope you found a moment to enjoy something for yourself.Mom treated me to a nice soup and ice tea lunch before I went to work. We have a local spot that is just...
- I have to cut back to 30-40 grams of carbs per day for a few weeks.It made me think about Mom and what she needs.( Taking blood thinner and recently running a bit to thin).The DR office did not call back so? My guess is that she has been getting...
- It is hard to tell when things are " real or memorex" (recall that old commercial??)What I mean ...is she really amping up the hatred or is this Alz?I often ask myself what a control freak does when losing it. Over comp for the confusion? So, have...
- After 3 years of staying with my Mom, I now understand of few of my Dads habits. He would not EVER say this but knew Mom had some kind of dementia. She use to choke, become hysterical etc...so never ate alone.Now she does as there is medication...
- Who would have known that moving in to help Mom would be a call to battle...with her!! Oh what a week it has been.Mom snapped at me when the physical therapist was here. I wasnt happy it happened but SOOOO glad it was recorded. She can hide her...
- The social worker came and said I am doing what is expected for someone like my Mom. The woman helped with the dont drive issue. Not that Mom is any less mad. Just that it came from someone else.Oh to watch independence be stripped away from someone...
