Here is the latest picture of Mom, taken on Sunday. Her new perm looks great, and she enjoys looking at herself in the mirror and checking it out. Tonight she is wide awake so I thought I would blog. Would you suspect that this sweet face would be such a pain the the you-know-what tonight? She's been doing the 'I want to get up --I want to go to bed thing' tonight. Luckily I got a good night's rest last night so I'm not exhausted tonight.My cold has settled into my chest and I have a wonderful cough. Otherwise I feel OK. I'm still wheezing. Tonight Mom asked what that noise was. It was me wheezing. It only seems to be bad when I lie down.
I am over this cold weather and ready for spring.
I have emailed the 3 memory care facilities and let them know that I am close to ready. I've heard from one. So tomorrow I'm going to call them. This is going to be the hardest decision I've ever had to make so I hope that I get help from my family on this. It shouldn't be just me, though I'm the one who is living it every day so I guess it has to be me and me alone.

Thinking of you and wanted to let you know that! What a hard decision. I'm sorry that your siblings aren't stepping up to be there for you both.
Also, coughing along (ha ha) with you. Fun, fun. I'm wheezing too, my son said that he heard a cat, but it was my breathing!
Oh Robyn! I'm sorry you are going through this. It's so hard to caregive 24/7 and it makes it even harder when you go it alone. Just adding my support to the others' - I'm here for you whenever you need a friend. ((hugs))
