Caregiving...It's not for Sissies

This is getting harder to do. Mom has so much trouble walking, I think if anything, that is going to be the major reason for placement for her. It is such a struggle to get her to and from the bathroom; getting out of the house is nearly impossible. Plus I have to obtain another specimen to make sure the UTI is cleared. I don't want to be desperate when the time comes to move her. She is going to hate it and be mad at me and I have to work up the courage to face that. And I have to work up the courage to live by myself again and get on with my life.

Our weather has been gorgeous these last few days. This morning there was a beautiful red cardinal at our feeder and last night there were hummingbirds zipping around our neighbor's patio. We also see lots of goldfinches and have even seen a bluebird.
