day 8 of mom
ER 3 times for the lower tract issues, doctors gave her a suite of anti biotics, plus panic attack calming chews..i think those are what we give dogs before travel.. i wanted them to give her zanax or valium or something.
looking for ideas, even US moving to florida and changing phone numbers, our old house we had built is for sale
all doctors tell her she is self inducing panic attacks, which results in irritable bowel
irritable stomach
does feel good enough to go out to eat breakfast...but somehow cant stop to buy groceries... from a store she has to pass on way home, and drove right by place to get her meds.
somehow did not stop to get them so we had to go out late to get them
refuses to make food at home as she does not feel good enough yad yada yada
wont let us buy her food, except whataburger.. yep those will get the train running
we dont get sleep because i wake up every hour to look at my phone
tried turning it off...but then in morning i missed 10 calls or texts and omg deaths door voice mails
its like she does it ON PURPOSE and i refuse to stay over there , the cats smell and i dont like cats that much
she can come over, but wont
i had planned to go do some target practice friday... she felt fine,
as soon as i flucked up and said we are going out for a bit she got sick,
.
anyway its raining today so i get to work on upstairs trim boards, get room finished
sunny tomorrow and i am ready for range time in bad way
yall have a great weekend
I am so sorry you are going through this with your mom. I totally get it. My once very strong, independent mom is now in a memory care home in Florida, eighteen hundred miles away. I am so thankful that my sister lives a couple of miles away from that home. It is very hard on all of us, but on my sister especially. At first mom would forget where she was. She still sometimes thinks she is in an Air BNB. But she is so afraid to leave her room, the staff have to go and bring her to the dining room at meal time. She will sleep until noon if my sister doesn't go over to get her up (Wednesdays and Sundays), get her showered, etc. It's getting a little better with time, but it hurts me more than anyone will ever know, how much she has changed.
yep its a tough pill
It's difficult, draining and frustrating when we as adult children become the caregivers. I know from personal experience. My Mom suffered a left sided stroke 15 years ago, I was given 12 more years with her and then 3 years ago she passed away from cancer. Take each day as it comes, learn to temper yourself as you get to know this new normal. Do your best to keep in mind she may not be able to help some behaviors and may also be afraid of the changes occurring in her life. She may not even fully understand what's happening. My prayers go out to you.day 8 of mom

I've purchased more cars in the 51 years than I care to remember. Have had some honest salespeople as well as the other kind. It took some time to learn new car sale "tactics" that the unscrupulous ones used. The sales-uneducated youth are prime prey. With my first new vehicle purchase, just being credit-worthy enough to make installments was a victory for me. My pops hated to deal with salespeople. I did the negotiating for him, otherwise he'd blow a fuse.
dude you never quit
yes sir its very draining and frustrating
It's a sickness! I must be building something! Thsnk you!
Son in law's grill. His training is incomplete.Deck will be awesome !
Upgrade that grill. Not worthy of the deck
Gonna be a big deck looks like.
and some custom outdoor cabinets and food prep areaSon in law's grill. His training is incomplete.
Go big or go home. Life is better with a big deck.
Now I have deck envy.
