I'm not surprised you have a headache. I sincerely sympathize with your mother - it is SO Hard to watch the decline. My Mom had early onset Parkinson's and the dementia along with the physical stiffness was excruciatingly painful for all of us. She was a published author who lost the ability to say a full sentence - it was not only painful but so unfair.

I'm not choking on food, but I am reduced to only being able to drink warm tea and eat soft warm food right now--I have a tooth that is acting up with anything cold. I took a sip of water at lunch and almost lost my mind, it hurt so bad. I have to start looking for a dentist again.

My mum is so different since her stoke. Still capable and independent but a lot more grumpy. I think it changes in the actual structure of the brain. Make me realise how little we are in control of our own personality.<br />Also deeply envious of your foodsaver. I think we call it a vacuum sealer (is that what it does?) and I want one!!Lizzie@her MFW Homeworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181986371554435192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-86548256090580132722018-01-05T23:47:20.429-08:002018-01-05T23:47:20.429-08:00I feel for you.I feel for you.Out My windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456481267171643227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-81762754387425478942018-01-05T23:46:59.629-08:002018-01-05T23:46:59.629-08:00Thank you and aren't they great!Thank you and aren't they great!

At the time, those were an anomaly but also a precursor to wobbly days on end. The first steps I saw cut me to the heart. A wheel chair or transport chair would keep her safe from a fall. <br /><br />I think you mil sees how much joy you get from your homemaking skills and knows how much it would ease your burden. <br /><br />No, I saw no problem with the food you bought. You will eat it, and then you will eat cheaply bought food. Sometimes, I have the same feeling that I should not buy more meat/cans/whatever. Exbf who is tight with his everyday expenses thinks it is okay to buy the good meat cheaply. So, he would approve. That means you are safe. <br /><br />I choked on rice, if you can believe that. Nothing would go down. I threw up until I almost passed out from aspirating it and the pain. It was the scariest thing that ever happened to me. He will have surgery? I had to have my esophagus stretched. That is not so bad. Except he wants to do a colonoscopy along with the endoscopy. No wonder you got nothing done. I feel for both of you.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-14672551883065719542018-01-05T18:46:24.627-08:002018-01-05T18:46:24.627-08:00It's really hard to watch someone you care abo...It's really hard to watch someone you care about decline.

In the end, she was dressing up so the television newscasters could see how pretty she looked. It was distressing to witness.<br /><br />What made it even harder was that my brother was appointed Medical POA, so he made a lot of decisions without consulting the other siblings. And what even made it harder was that he could not rein his wife in (she is a nurse know-it-all), and SHE was making decisions too. This was particularly grating to me because she was not a daughter, a blood relative, nor was her name on any legal document. I objected vociferously but was ignored by my brother. Needless to say, we no longer have a good relationship.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-44078620552392330612018-01-05T17:13:06.070-08:002018-01-05T17:13:06.070-08:00I'm sorry for your mothers decline.
