The Black Hole
|
I have such a hole now that mom is gone. The day that hubby and I went to make funeral arrangements, my friend Gloria was at the house, fixing spaghetti and doing whatever needed to be done. When we got home, I saw her car and immediately thought "oh Gloria is here watching mom......Read More

The End

Emailed to friends and relatives Wednesday morning:
Just wanted to send an email to those of you that knew mom or knew her through me and my wild tales. Mom passed away peacefully today around 4:30 on Tuesday the 26th of February.

Cortisone crazy
|
Dr. Bellamy called me back with his diagnosis, Polymyalgia Rheumatica, as I said. Told me he was not comfortable with prescribing a daily cortisone for mom, but that was what he suspected that she needed. He would place a call to Dr. VanLandingham and give him his diagnosis.
Dr.......Read More

The Physical Therapy Saga
|
Mom is really in bad shape. She is in so much pain when we stand her up. Once up and walking a few steps, her joints get "oiled" and she can walk fairly well.
I called her doctor last Friday after the urology appointment, which of course turned up nothing. ......Read More

Declining
|
Mom has been on an antibiotic for almost a week, we've stopped the diuretic also, and I added Vitamin B-12 to her daily pills. I read somewhere along the line with Dementia that a lack of B-12 can make dementia worse, so I thought what the heck, I'll add it to her diet.
Well she's......Read More

Dining out days are numbered
|
We went to Outback Steakhouse last night, I think our going out to dinner nights are numbered. I got us a table in the bar because it's first come first serve and you get better service around 5:30.
