Ugh...Things have been so busy lately. Work is busy, and so much to do and not enough hours in the day. I know, I am sure I am preaching to the choir...
Mom has been up and down since the service. Sometimes she gets so agitated, they give her a sedative, which, before the memorial service, would just barely calm her down. Now they seem to hit her like I have always thought they should. The sad thing is, they make her calmer, and a little slower, but she says all the same things to me as she does when she is lucid...Just slower and quieter. She is still really struggling with everything. She really wants to smoke, so I finally gave in and bought her a pack of cigs to smoke only when I am there...Half the time, she goes out, takes two puffs and says she needs to go back inside because it is too cold. I still think that the smoking agitates her further when she starts getting the nicotine withdrawals, but now that I have let her smoke, there is no stopping her. I am hoping that she doesn't get kicked out of Magnolia at some point for being so belligerent. Ugh! I curse that person who got her that pack of cigarettes!!! No one at the nursing home will admit to it, and Mom won't reveal the culprit.
Anyway, she continues to have a hard time dealing with life itself. Thanks to everyone for coming to visit her. I know it is hard to see sometimes, but she does enjoy your company. Often, in the few moments of peace and calm she and I sometimes have during our visits, she will talk about how nice it was to see each of you.
I hope all is well with each of you, and I hope you have wonderful plans for this beautiful weekend!:)
Much love.
