Mom Update.....
May. 4th, 2015 06:24 amFriday we took her and her sister Liz out to one of the restaurants on the Gulf for lunch. Perfect weather, even a pod of Dolphins for her last trip out.
She's foggy, occasionally coherent as expected. basically, the only pain she's in is that caused by ignoring my suggestions around bedrest and sitting. So what else is new....
One Good Thing is that after yrs of ignoring my medical expertise the family is LISTENING. My brother is even realizing that Conflict Avoidance isn't always the best choice. We'll see if this is a limited change. I think this will really depend on what happens today when he contacts Hospice since he's been letting Dad do most of the interaction and he's in mid-stage Alzheimer's! Dad told him he'd got them to schedule NA's then caught him calling the wrong company last night.
Mom's in little Pain and hopefully will continue to Fade Peacefully over the rest of the week. Yesterday was her 86th B-day.....
Cheers,
Pat
