7 minute Audio Introduction to The Mom & Me Journals
is to undermine the isolation of the caregiving experience
by offering all, especially our loved ones, a window into our lives.
As I post to this journal I think of our loved ones and their families,
how busy and involved we all are, and that,
if and when they come to this site they can be assured
that they will miss nothing in our lives and will, thereby, recognize us
and relax easily into our arms and our routines
when we are again face to face.

I laid down for a "short" nap at 1945....
...and awoke at 2130 just as Mom was getting ready for bed. I guess I was exhausted. As well, my feet have been hurting from wearing a pair of shoes that don't fit right. I left the others in Mesa.
Mom wasn't hungry when I laid down. She awoke about 1900. I put out some popcorn to help regulate her and give her the sense of thirst then set about having her drink water.
When I awoke I discovered that Mom had been munching popcorn all evening. She claimed not to be hungry. I took her blood sugar and decided to administer her regular dose of glipizide (and one Detrol), even though she wasn't taking it as per regulation. I suspect I'll have something new to learn about glipizide from Mom's first blood glucose reading, tomorrow.
