TY for the words of encouragement :)
It wasn&...Sue,<br />TY for the words of encouragement :)<br />It wasn't much longer after I posted that Hubby came needing my help and once again all was well. No anger or anxiety. <br /><br />I just hate when I get sucked into an argument.<br />I'm a lover, not a fighter :)<br /><br />I have been reading your blog with great interest.<br />TY for sharing it.<br /><br />Hugs~ KathyKathy Lowreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866920774643291297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985636024645022382.post-35646855817756612152010-03-07T05:54:48.811-06:002010-03-07T05:54:48.811-06:00Kathy, don't beat yourself up, it's really...Kathy, don't beat yourself up, it's really hard what we do as care givers. I've found the best thing to do in a situation like this, I have them too... is to suck it up and appologize. Give him lots of hugs when you see the gentle moments. <br /><br />My mom is 80 and still talks about driving and is mad at me for getting rid of her car when we moved 2 years ago when she couldn't find her way to our new house.<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago we still had lots of snow and ice on the ground. My mom wanted to go out. I asked her where she was going and she said, "out." I wouldn't let her go. I was worried that she'd fall. It turned into a horrible scene, sort of like the one you just described but with our own nuances. <br /><br />Later, I figured that if I let her just go, not stop her, she won't go. It's cold outside and she also worries about falling. So, she put on her coat, I said, "Where are you going?" She said, "Out." I said, "Ok. Call me if you get lost."<br /><br />She went out for 5 minutes, walked up the walk way and the driveway and came back inside. All she wanted was to know that she could go, that she wasn't a prisoner.<br /><br />I found that when my mom eats gluten, dairy and sugar, she gets extra agitated and has sleep disturbances.<br /><br />I'm writing a post about all the natural remedies that my mom has tried and currently takes. I'll post it on Dr. David Thomas' blog; he asked me to write about homeopathics and natural remedies. They work really well for my mom.<br /><br />You are doing a great job Kathy, it's ok. Everything passes with this illness, hug hubby and tell him that you are sorry. Let him do things on his own. He'll be ok. <br /><br />Big hugs and sunny smiles! ~ SueSusan Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019940790074997076noreply@blogger.com
