I am going to engage in one last pity party then pull myself together.
Mom was ill and had a dr appointment for the following day. An elderly friend was also ill and in need. My husband stayed with Mom and I went to MJ's house. I spent the night on the floor next to her couch holding her hand while she cried in pain. Made a drs appointment for MJ [[she doesn't drive) Also called a senior advocate group who promised to check on her. Had to leave for mom's appointment. My mothers doctor said go to ER, the social worker convinced MJ to go to ER. So Mom and MJ were both in ER at the same time.
Both are home now after a week. MJ has an old house with wooden steps. We applied friction strips on her stairs this summer. We worried about the wood porch however so today we took a mat for the wood porch leading to her front door. [[She get meals on wheels) and we didn't want slip and fall type accidents. I visited with her and my husband did her dishes and some clean up. Then we find out that this crazy neighbor of MJ's called the social worker to tell her what rotten people we are. Frankly I was a little shocked. Shouldn't be hurt but I am. That social worker and our call saved MJ's life.
We scheduled a follow up visit for Mom with her primary. We want Mom to lead as normal of a life as she can while she can. She is quite religious and most activities revolve around her church. By general agreement mom doesn't drive now so we chauffeur her and her friends. My sister changes the appointment and screws everything up.
Told you that I needed a small pity party. We feel we are doing a lot to accomadate many people but in the process I feel like we are being shit on. So many other things bad happened this week but I am starting to bore even myself.
Thanks for letting me unburden. I have promised myself to lighten up and take a new attitude. Really, really appreciate everyones kind thoughts. Tomorrow I will be me again with a more positive outlook.
