Mom is in terrible pain
Mom’s previous pain in the shoulder is getting too much. Mom isn’t even able to grab a slice of bread and put it in her mouth herself.
On top of that there is now the pain from mom’s hip or legs: probably due to arthritis and old age, or just because it has been overused also when mom was taking care of father’s metastatic liver cancer.
We now have our emergency plan starting: trying to get all the help we organized for father back into the house for mother. We have to find out if that is as easy as it looks, because strictly speaking: this is not palliative care. But it should be as mom is no more able to feed herself nor to drink herself.
The more painkillers mom takes, the more her blood-pressure goes up. Not good for her eyes to start with. If she can walk again (that is get into the car), then scans and sonar are scheduled next week…
