Tell Us About Your Day

Thank you Cherry, the philosopher ....

Thats good. i know how expensive automobile repairs can be.

I spoke to mum again this morning.
Sometimes I feel its like banging my head against a brick wall.
She barely goes out anymore except for dialysis in the early morning she doesn't eat very much and what she does is not what I would consider healthy, plus she's not allowed to eat dark green vegetables like spinach, broccoli or sprouts and she's not allowed nuts and whole wheat bread.
She's never been a fan of eggs or yoghurt. So her diet is mainly chicken , potatoes and tinned veg.

So she has been complaining that she is tired, tired to the point where she just wants to sleep 24/7 and she can't be bothered to do anything, she has no motivation , she also feels too tired to eat properly . she says she's so forgetful she think she's getting Alzheimer's.
She saw her doctor who did absolutely no tests but diagnosed depression.
They have said she will have to go on the waiting list to see a counsellor.

This morning I explain to her that with her diet and her symptoms is quite probable that she is lacking vitamin d and vitamin B12 both of which would account for the symptoms that she is experiencing.
I asked if her doctor had done a blood test and she said no so I said that it would be a good idea she went back to the doctor and ask for a blood test to check her vitamins well I'll think about it she says.. I'm trying to convince her and like mum it might be as easy as taking one little tablet a day and you would feel a lot better ...yes but I don't know if I can be bothered she says.. I'm so tired and I've got no energy she tells me. I'm trying to convince her that a blood test is essential to find out if she is knocking him vitamins iron minerals before she goes off waiting for who knows how long to see a counsellor but she's now so far gone she won't even listen to me.
Theres hardly any point me listening to her moan when any advice I give her is just ignored anyway. I think she just likes the sound of her own voice.

Good day here, a restful one and so there's not much to say about it.

I had a failry usual day yesterday. The weekly shop in the morning. A lovely lunch and then relax for the rest of the day - So well that I couldn't get to sleep at bedtime

We are off to the travel agents to pay the bulk of our cruise bill

But it is our honeymoon, so really looking forward to it.

I thought about it last night and I decided to contact my ex sister-in-law I hate keep foisting responsibility on to her but she does have contact with mum's volunteer.
I've explained and she's going to have a word with the volunteer to see if she can get her to convince mum to talk to the doctor again.
She can't take vitamins and minerals that are generic on sale because of her kidney failure so her vitamin d was prescribed by a doctor but it seems she's not taking it anymore and I don't know why,, every old person needs vitamin d.
Why they haven't done a blood test to check her thyroid levels and her vitamin levels ( she is a thyroid patient by the way) is beyond me.

Blood check would seem like minimum to me too.

Your ex sil sounds like a kindly person.

I have done virtually ALL the cleaning today. It took a good few hours, but was well worth it. I am apartment-proud!

I will be putting my dinner in the oven shortly and shall be watching a DVD.

I hope everyone has been enjoying their day so far!

I thought that said fairy.. and I was wondering what a fairy day might entail... I could picture you in a garden making all the plants grow...  while maybe wearing a tutu, some fake wings, and tapping them with a wand lol

It sounds like you still are purging Cherry.

My spelling lol. On a sudden impulse I wondered about mocking it up and posting a photo, then realised what time of year it is. I'll make the most of it but not outside in a tutu

My day is just beginning as I have just opened the curtains to the world
