Took Dad to the doctor's today to see about getting something done for his sciatica pain. Doing all the talking just bring back memories of Ma...and how I couldn't get it right...

Good news is that I was able to get him a back X-ray today. Tomorrow I try to schedule therapy but I have to work around his work and my work schedules. This causes me anxiety... but I think anxiety is just may operating standard unless I am just being myself.

Odd observation ... Dad is a sucker for pretty young women. Oi. The NP was kind and listened to him... and then checked in with me as well.

Annoying.... Dad had no pain in the doctor's office.


Sad... a friend of mine lost her adopted Mom today. My heart breaks for her.

Honey, it wasn't you. It was your mother. She didn't tell anyone that she was losing her eyesight. She didn't tell anyone that she'd fallen the first time. Once you got her to the hospital, she wouldn't eat, wouldn't drink, wouldn't listen to the doctor, wouldn't do anything to help herself get healthy. She was a stubborn woman. I don't know why you thought you could bring her back to health when she was stubbornly refusing to do anything to help in her own recovery. You ARE NOT responsible for your mother's health or her death.

It's OK to mourn her. It's OK to miss her terribly. *HUGS* But I do wish you could stop blaming yourself for her death. That wasn't your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame the hospital. But don't blame yourself.

And *hugs* for your friend's loss as well.
