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.

In quick time thought...
...immediately after the last post I did some internal computing and decided to give her a Detrol this morning. It occurred to me that if I give her two Detrol a day and don't keep after her constantly to drink water that her body might retain water rather than sending it directly to her bladder and, from there, directly out of her body. The last time I gave her two Detrol I also noticed that her body indulged in some unnatural water retention, so I decided against continuing that practice; but I also hounded her to drink water that day. Perhaps if I give her two Detrol and let her drink when she wants (she almost always has a cup of decaf coffee going and she does, occasionally, water herself), this will take care of both the dehydration problem, the excessive leakage problem and the unnatural swelling problem. We'll give that a try, today.
