Mom's New Normal

Sunday 1-13-2019

Today has been a different day for her. She came in from church and went to her room to put her things away. After having lunch, she stated that she was going to go lay down as she was not feeling well. This goes right along with yesterday. Every time her phone rang, she would get up and go to her room to talk to whoever was on the other end of the line. She really should have a sign on her door that reads " Behind this door is the Secret Life of Kelly, Enter at your Own Risk". I love her dearly, but she tells me that I have a communication problem and we do not have the relationship that we once had. Well, no we do not, especially when you sit here 3 feet from me and spend all your time "reading" your phone!! She likes to shop on her phone she that I get to know the ladies at the post office by name. They are really sweet!!
This disease really sucks for all who are involved. Our whole life changes, from what we thought we were going to be as caregivers to really being parents. Having to make decisions for her that is her best interest. Just like we do for our children. Even if she doesn't like or understand it at all. Which is totally possible.
