SUPER Finally IT seems to show a loss at least 2 days in a row, so I'm going to go with it. I know I shouldn't weigh every day, but let me tell you I really feel I need to at least for now. And the "IT" is that little square box that I step on in the morning. I wrote a journal entry a while back about "IT" One of these days I'm going to find that entry and print it out so I can read it over and over again!
I went to my first OA meeting today and I really think the meetings might help me. Especially since I normally take my mom to the library on the weekends and that is where the meeting is and they said it was ok for me to bring her. She seemed to be ok, but toward the end I know she was getting a little 'antsy' (89 Alzheimer's). I brought cards for her to look at which kept her busy for a little while then she started to suck her fingers and thumb, this is something new and I'm not sure how to handle that. I might call the Alzheimer's support group I go to and see if they have any suggestions, talking to her doctor really doesn't help. I hate to give her a pacifier (LOL) but sometimes I feel that might help. Sometimes I feel you just have to go with the flow and take each day at a time and try to get some humor in the situation. At least mom is not combative. She was at earlier stage and still sometimes she does have the "NO" syndrome but for the most part she is a happy one, just in her own little world. It is just frustrating with the bathroom issues especially (she wears depends full time and it is a mess, to say the least). I just don't understand why she has this terrible disease and why my dad (passed away April 2013) had Parkinson's for so many years and why I am the primary care giver when they (parents) never took care of their parents..... oh I'm sorry I don't mean to rant but somedays I just feel so frustrated with the whole thing, especially when I see so many other people my moms age and older (my girlfriends mom is 92!) and they are in great health mentally and physically for their age! Oh well we all have our own battles to go through, BUT I'm not going to let this defeat me.
I am doing this program for me and I feel good so I will do the best with what I have and be true to me :-)
