I do feel pretty darned good with all the steps I'm taking for my health. I'll tell you, I don't want to end up like my mother and it's a slippery slope in my family. There is such a horrible history of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity....it goes on and on. I actually once had a doctor look at my family history and comment, "Gee....and you're still living...hmmm." YUCK!
I don't especially like that Gabe is there, but it is what it is. I've just received a text from him tell me that he just saved my mom from falling. I can say honestly that I'm thankful he was there when I wasn't. Why does that woman insist on being so stubborn? She has a bedside commode but I'l guarantee you that she refused to use it and went into the bathroom where she can't fit her walker. I don't have the details on how or where she was falling. UGH!
I don't know what happened. I don't really care. Heck, I even warned the woman that he is pathological and she, of course, insisted that he wasn't like that with her. LOL! Um....this has been his pattern since early childhood. Not something that is only done on a case by case basis. Good heavens. She definitely is getting hers though.
Jeff, don't think I haven't thought about going away to my cousin's house at the beach for a few days. There just doesn't seem to be any way to do it and be sure mom is taken care of. She isn't Gabe's responsibility and I won't ask him to do that. Mom wouldn't allow it anyway. We're talking personal hygine that I have to take of for her most of the time....TMI.....that's not something he can do.
