I weighed in again today. I'm holding steady at 177 lbs. Although I would liked to see a little more loss this week, I'm not going to freak out over it. I know I've been doing my part. I've been walking every chance I get. So far this week, I logged in 20 miles..that makes 52 miles since I started counting on 8/9. Today is my Friday and the weather is starting to cool down so I think I'll take the dogs up to the gorge and do some hiking on Saturday.
Tomorrow, I'll be down at DSHS applying for Medicaid for my mother..hopefully that won't take all day. I went to see her yesterday. She's not doing well at all. She can no longer stand or walk on her own. It takes two people to move her now, and even then its like lifing a bag of sand. She doesn't know me anymore. She thought I was her sister (she died about 25 years ago). It's really hard to see her this way. Two years ago, she was having a lot of memory problems but at least I could still sit and talk to her. I don't have any sisters so I would go see her every Saturday and have coffee and talk. I miss those days a lot. :(

Oh Nan, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. It's bad enough when their health begins to deteriorate but when their memory goes they are so lost. Spend as much time with her as you can now, regardless if she thinks you are someone else. You will never regret it.

Thanks, I appreciate your kind words. I do try spend as much time with her as I can. Lately it been kind of hard since I've been working 10 hour days but my schedule is going back to normal on the 30th. I just wish my 4 brothers felt the same way. Only one of them has come to visit my mom (once) since my dad died in April. They all tell me that she doesn't remember them being there anyway so they don't feel it's necessary to take the time. I don't care if she remembers!! I know if I've been there or not. And really, who's to say what's going on in her head? I really hate to think, that just maybe, she really does know what's going on and that besides losing her husband of 60+ years, now her kids have turned their backs on her too!

Have you tried talking w/ your brothers about what you are feeling? That maybe somewhere deep inside your Mom just might be 'locked' in her own world of memories and feelings - and although she can't on the outward process it enough to make sense of it all - that you don't want her to 'feel' lonely or abandoned or such. Not to mention YOU probably could use the moral support of your siblings NOW as well...so even though they 'think' she isn't benefitting from their visits (or lack thereof) an occasional 'family day' would mean the world to you! Take some pictures, go out to lunch before hand - make the most of your time together ... help them to see the value in maintaining family relationships, because soon enough that will begin to change, and each of you will have to choose to put a priority on staying close or allowing distance and time to separate you. Even an occasional card or note of encouragement will help them to realize how something so little as a few hours of their time...can be the saving grace to your sanity ...and how much you appreciate it. (great job on the exercise Nan, keep on walking...)
