Sunday

I went to mom and dads house yesterday with sister. I talked to mom a couple nights before going to her house and had a feeling she wasn't feeling well.
So we get to her house and she's in bed. She said she had been in the emergency room the night before because she was sick. They couldn't find anything wrong except that she was a little dehydrated. She said they tried  pushing IV fluids in her too fast so she had to put a stop to the IV.........and doesn't understand why they can't read her records or listen to her when she tells them her body can't handle those fluids. She said they wanted to keep her overnight but she went home.
So I asked mom what was going on.........."I've been tired, and really cold. I don't know. I just don't feel well."
I went through her bag of medications asking her about each one .Found out she stopped taking her Thyroid medication 10 days ago. "I don't need that pill."  She cracks me up. I told her "mom you're a very bad patient!" Seriously. She adjusts her Coreg, Lasix, Insulin, and who knows what without talking to her doctor. She did tell her doctor that she opens her Coreg capsule and takes some of the powder rather than the whole capsule. "Pat! Don't tell me that!" is part of what he said.
So sis and I educated mom about her Thyroid medication. She agreed that maybe she does need it and promised to take it everyday. I do think something else is going with her. I'm just not sure what it is........
She was supposed to start using oxygen at bedtime several weeks ago. It's still not there and she isn't very forth coming as to why. She makes it sound like her cardiologist's office dropped the ball. It's hard to tell with mom. So my plan is call her cardiologists office Monday. If mom doesn't want the oxygen that's fine. It's her body, her choice...............but if they dropped the ball, or things got mixed up then they need to fix it.
We hung out with mom for a few hours.......laughing, joking, making fun about her being a bad patient. :O)

Last year I took a picture of her squirrel that hangs out outside her bedroom window. I blew the picture up to an 8x10, and framed it. Yesterday she said " I really love my squirrel picture. I wish you'd take more so  I'd have a group of them.
I got a couple more cute pictures of him...........and a few pictures of "her" birds.
