I went home from work yesterday because I had a belly ache. Sunday night I had eaten Pork Ribs and Macaroni Salad for dinner. Maybe the pork did not agree with me or something but I was miserable. I drank lots of fluids and feel okay now. My mom had called me to ask if I could go with her to an eye doctor appt. this morning. It was first thing this morning so it was not too inconvenient for my employer. She has Macular Degeneration and it is progressing. Dr. D told her she needs to limit her driving to familiar areas. She is pretty freaked out and I am glad that I was there to hear what he had to say. After we got home she said "This is role reversal, you are taking care of me now" I am so glad that I can be there for her but... big sigh... Until next time...
There's something slightly scary about that role reversal. I'm starting to see the first glimpses of that my own self.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to be the grown up!
ReplyDeleteit is hot today, but not as hot as it could be. the temps for the most part so far have been mild compared to what they usually are here in the summer. You must also get that nice fresh brezze where you are?
ReplyDeleteIt has been cooler then normal here too. Yes, we do get nice breezes.
ReplyDeleteI think it is great that you are there for her.
ReplyDeleteI took care of my aging mother, and although it was hard work, I would not change one thing about my decision to do it. What a kind heart you must have.
