What a day

Hello again

I went to my doctors today for the steroid injection. That was the easy part. I arrived at mom's and started to feed her dinner.

Well, I started to feel, not so good. I was extremely nauseous. sweating, very hot. Felt like I was going to throw up and other things.

It felt like I went through an entire week of having a very serious flu in 45 minutes. I am not joking. I have never felt this bad in my life. I though I was going to faint. Fall over. I was having a hard time feeding mom. She could see that I was not doing well.

It was intense! After the 45 minutes I was doing better. But wow. I continued to feed mom though I was feeling sick. We finished dinner and her dessert. I got the dishes done and off to her room for her nightly spa treatment.

Because of feeling bad, I wasn't able to read mom as I usually do.  But mom was talking up a storm. I felt so bad not being able to understand even a little bit of what she was saying. Mom was even laughing and smiling at me and the care aid.

I really do try to read mom and understand her. I am usually very good at this.

We got through this. Mom received her nightly medication. And it was time for me to stand and hold her hand. Mom did offer me many hugs and she put her hand on the side of my face. Offered me kisses.

But I am still not 100% and really just need to lie down and watch something and relax.

So I need to go now.

GOD bless and good night

I am looking so intently at finding a place, it is giving me a headache, on top of the massive headache I already have from the accident.
