Linda,
I had a good food day yesterday until 9 pm. I had spent 2 hours at the gym doing Pilates class and a personal training session and was ravenous when I got home and attacked the refrigerator. This once again proves the truth of the HALT rule!
But today is a new day, thank goodness. I don't want to repeat yesterday - my muscles are sore from the gym, and my visit with my mom yesterday afternoon was a mixed blessing. She was in good spirits, but she's totally incontinent now (it used to be just urinary). After about 25 minutes of happy conversation, Mom suddenly announced, "I think I **** myself." It sure smelled like she did, so I called an aide to help clean her up, but every 45 seconds, Mom repeated, "I think I **** myself." I would say, "I know, Mom. Someone's coming to help you." And she would start over again...
B: coffee protein shake
S1: iced skinny latte
S2: honeydew melon
L: egg salad
S: cheese, cherry tomatoes
D: chicken with olives & lemon, edamame dip
S: frozen cherries

Jean, I can relate about attacking the refrigerator....today is a new day filled with lots of possibilities....just keep on keeping on.
I am so sorry about your Mom and I do know what you are going thru, my Mom was in the nursing home, and used to take all her clothes off....I go in to visit her and there she would be completely naked! Where the heck were the nurses and aides? I lost my Mom 4 yrs ago and miss her terribly still.....she was 93 when she passed. All I can say is just cherish the time you have with your Mom, despite the bumps in the road.
Sending you hugs,
Pat R.

Done! Your Ticker:
Pat,
Naked?! Oh my goodness! Mom hasn't pulled that one yet. I don't know if she could pull that off. Most of the time, she acts so helpless it's like dressing a 130-lb baby, but sometimes she surprises me.
At least Mom still has a sense of humor. And at least I inherited that sense of humor from her!

Good hump day to you, Sweetie. I hope that today goes well for you and for all of us.
I have an appointment this afternoon with my pcp. I am seriously thinking of asking her for something for depression..I think I need something for a short time only. I am not one to do that for to long. I use to but now I feel differently about it. I just have to do something because the depression is starting and I am afraid that it is going to go into the hiding that it has in the past. I don't want that to happen. I will go into a depression and not answer the phone or talk to anyone and I can't do that now..I would lose what sanity I have and I have to hold on to that.
Food went alright yesterday..nothing great but better than it has in the past. I keep in mind you coming here if I don't eat breakfast so something goes in my mouth.
Yesterday the food was:
B: half a container of yogurt
L: a couple of slices of deli turkey
D: chicken breast with veggies (not a lot but better than nothing)
S: a kiwi (they are so good and Bill and I are eating a lot of them)
Have a special day and spread the seeds of happiness and joy around..they will sprout and grow. I am sending love and hugs to you, dear friend along with lots of prayers being said for you and yours.
There is a lot of pain in my belly today. Had more last night so that is good..hopefully it will keep getting better. I know it won't at least not right now but later. I will take later than nothing at all. The infection is still just raging and I am getting so tired of it. Tomorrow is the day we should be finding out what kind of infection it is. Hopefully then they might do something about an antibiotic. I think that my nurse would be able to do the i.v. stuff here at home. She would just show me how to do it on the days that she isn't here. It shouldn't be hard. I think that is the way for me to go but then again they might not see it that way. All I know is this infection is a big one...it seems worse than the one before. But then again I am not a doctor so what do I know..just pain and crap like that is all I know now. Gotta go...I gotta get off this subject.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
