Dad and Mom, Then and Now

Ways Mom Reminds Me of Dad (in no certain order):

*Blood pressure up and down (was high and medicated, now medication greatly reduced and still sometimes scary low, other times normal).

*Still enjoying food, but eating. so. slowly.

*Tired, mostly from the activities of daily living.

*Using cane in house sometimes.

*Forgetful.

*Sleeping in big chair.

*Not sleeping well.

*Not wanting to be a burden; desperately does not want the help that is needed.

*Cold.

*Anxious about money.

*Puts forth the facade of Everything's Fine, and does a pretty good job with it.

I'm sure I'll add to the list, but that is what is rattling around in my head currently.
