Monday WLS Express
GINA!!! Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in "The Clean Plate Club." I've been doing the same thing. "Oh, I only have 2 bites left. I can eat that." and then PAIN....discomfort, laying down, misery. It's awful.
Add to that the emotional eating and YIKES!! Why is it we can only eat a certain amount of "good food" and we can eat tons of junk???? UGH!!!
Love ya lady!! Today is a new day and we are both going to do better!!!

I feel your pain in dealing with Dementia issues!!
I believe that even though Mom is in the advanced stages, she feels the love around her. I do remember the combative years and we had no idea what was going on. Wish I had been a little more "aware".
Drive safe!!!

Thanks Terry.
I think what's so difficult right now is that I see what's going on, but she doesn't. She thinks everything is she is fine but that we don't care about her. Total victim mentality. Never mind how she verbally abuses us, the fights she starts with us, the mean things she continually says.... If you dare to disagree, OMG!! The stories I could tell you from the past 2 years... Sometimes, I wonder if it IS dementia or if she's just a mean bitter ugly old woman who wants everyone else to be as miserable as she is. I didn't make the choices she made. It's not MY fault she's in the situation she claims she's in. So, why am I having to pay for it?
Wow, where did that rant come from? Can you tell I'm stressed about going to TN? I tell ya, if I could avoid it, I would!! I'd rather just see my in-laws and skip my family! Sad, but true. Oh well..... Gotta go do what's right. Might as well suck it up, put on my big girl panties and smile my way thru it.
Thanks!

Take a REALLY deep breath and let it out slow........if it is dementia, then remember that it is the disease talking to you not the Mom you know and love.
Just love her and don't let her push your buttons!

Hmmm...since you have experience with this do you think YOU can go visit her and let me stay at my in-laws? Oh, wait, her eye sight is still pretty good. Darn!! LOL
