My mom is going thru one of her wigging out stages again. She has anxiety and it gets worse, manifests itself as pain. This time its hip/leg pain. We saw the doc, he manipulated her legs and there was no pain.
When we got home, I had her lay on the couch, legs elevated since her ankles are swollen. No pain while I was there.
Her pain increases at night when she's alone, and her worries start up. So I'm going to stay with her for a few nights. Maybe I can get her walking around the block, tire her out so she doesn't do so much worrying.
But. Spending time with her means sitting and watching a lot of TV. She seems to want/need companionship all the time. And I'm too young to act like I'm 87. Even a walk around the block is too slow for me but necessary.
She has been prescribed an anxiety medicine but hates taking pills, so I'm not sure she's been taking it. My guess is no.
So I packed up some food, some clothes, and I'm headed her way.
