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.

Oh, I almost forgot...
...I'll try to write most of my blood sugar comments here in the journal in larger print so they're easier to read. I wrote so much yesterday on her blood glucose chart that I found it unnecessary to write, here; but I can't imagine that negotiating that tiny print is fun for anyone but me.
Also, as a note to myself, I want to talk a little, later, probably much later today, about the problem of dehydration in the elderly. At the moment it is the only condition we're negotiating that is driving me a little crazy. It is distracting and frustrating to have to tell someone almost constantly, sip to sip, to drink water. I have other concerns about this, as well.
