Weekend with Mom

The weekend with Mom was for the most part, uneventful. Her condition continues to get worse. Very weak. Can't do anything on her own. She asked for a piece of candy and couldn't put it to her mouth. I had to feed it to her. Doesn't talk much. Moans a lot. Most of us have heard the moaning.

As far as the meeting on the 29th- won't be there. It has been my opinion that she needs a more specialized care than I/we can provide. I don't have the capability to provide the proper care that she needs. I believe thats what the geriatric nurse is going to say. We either get her in a nursing home or bring in 24 hour nursing care. Either way its going to be expensive. I will be back on weekend duty in a couple of weeks and will find a cargiver or nurse who will come in and do the chores that are required, like cleaning up Mom after she goes to the bathroom in her depends. I will stay with the schedule as planned.

As far as Morris paying his $500, its about time. He's only 4-5 months past due. I guess that's ok as far as we are concerned.
