Just A Tuesday

Second PT session done. This time around, I downloaded the app and he gives me exercises to work out along with.  I did them today, but boy am I sore!!  

I've been at mom's two days in a row and she seems to be doing ok.  Then I called her today at 3 and she seemed fine, said dhe was fine. Then at 645 she's calling and crying and saying she is having pain.  And again when I takk her through, its her anxiety that causes her body to clench up and that causes her nerves to be compressed which is her pain.  

I said I'd come take her to the ER and she said no.  I always have to remind her to slow her breathing, to control her panic attack. I've taught her to use ice to reduce swelling, to snap her wrist with a rubber band to help break the cycle. When I remind her of these she always tells me she can't help it. Its just how she is.   That bothers me greatly.

She has many pills to help. Maybe she needs a nurse person to help her with her meds.  She says no, so I've let it go. 

Maybe it's time to take charge ..... *sigh*
