Tuesday Menus & Miles for Roz

I haven't seen Roz online today, so I figure she's trying to deal with her mom and her job and everything else. Thinking about you Roz.

You are right Gina...Thanks so much!  I went over last night and got her ready for bed and then my brother ran over several times during the night to make sure she hadn't tried getting out of bed and fallen again. The ER couldn't find any reason to admit her.  My sister and I went to look at several nursing homes yesterday afternoon. I am really struggling with this.  The one place was in the city and looked so gloomy but she would have a small room to herself and could have some of her own furniture. They called them apartments so I expected something totally different. The second place was in the country but was more like a hospital and she would have someone in her room.  We didn't see very many people in their rooms so I'm thinking they must have them out doing something.  A lot of the rooms were all decorated with personal things.

Breakfast: 

Snack:  Banana

Lunch:  Big Salad

Snack:  Nature Valley Almond, peanut, and sunflower seed bar.  Gluten Free.

Dinner:  Grilled cheese and Soup

You're welcome, Roz. My parents are in the process of selling their property and home, and moving into a retirement "village". I'm not looking forward to the next stage at all. Swinging lizards for all of us with older parents. Keep us posted on how your mom is doing and remember to take care of yourself too.

Yep - I'm looking at those times too.  My Mother is so stubborn that it will be a fight to the end I'm afraid.

Roz, when my mother was in a nursing home they said the one thing that made or broke roommates was room temp.  Roommates could deal with just about anything else but being too cold or hot because of the other person.  I was so blessed that mother was perfectly fine in the nursing home and felt like she should have alway been waited on like that.  Hopefully whatever you decide for your mom, she will adapt quickly and easily.

I hope she will be ok too, Price. Maybe it's a very good thing they aren't leaving her alone right now.
