What a......... a day makes

Hello again

What a difference a day makes for mom. For the last three days mom has been lethargic. Eating, but taking a very long time. More so than usual. I don't have a problem with this. However long it takes mom to eat. That is how long I will sit there and feed her. I know when she is done.

But today, mom was extremely hyper, So much so I could feel the hyperness ( probably not a word) radiating off of her. To the point I had to let go of her hand, several times. She was eating very fast, to the point where she almost choked on her food. I haven't seen mom eat this fast before. Or this hyper.


Mom ate what I brought her plus most of what was served. She was hungry and thirsty. I just kept going until she was full. Then dessert.

Wow! is all I have to say about this. I am not a hyper person. I am calm. Yes I do experience anxiety about allot of things. But in general I am calm. Or can make myself calm before I go into see mom. And pick it up afterwards.

I washed her hair this evening,, and massaged her scalp to try to calm her down a bit. It worked a bit...

Then I got her changed for bed. And the casual didn't come in until 7:15. Everyone knows I need to leave at a certain time. That is why mom is to be put into bed before 7 pm. So I have time to give mom her nightly spa treatment and sit with her, holding her hand while she falls asleep.

I gave her a quick spa treatment and held her hand as long as I could.

This is why I need to be living out their. To be able to stay longer. Which is what mom wants as well as myself.

She wasn't asleep when I left, but close.

And for me. I am waking up at night because my right arm is killing me.

Today was a very bad day for me. Very bad.

There is a lump that is getting bigger on my right elbow. I have complained to the doctor about my elbow right from the start of the accident. Nothing done about it.

And the more I use my right arm the worse it is getting. And the bigger the lump is getting

GOD bless and good night.
