This is hard! Not because of the tasks involved but the learning curve. Mom's whole composition is so different now and so fragile. My learning process has been reactive instead of proactive and that is hard. Every time I think I am getting it figured out ... never mind I am not. When an elderly person gets sick it is not just a matter of getting well because every little thing affects them long term really. They lose a little bit more that they do not get back.
I really expected Mom to do better here but because of the UTI that coincided with her move she has really deteriorated. In my head I know that it was just timing but in my heart it is easy to fall into this place where I feel like despite all of my best laid plans, attention, and intention her life really sucks now. My only hope and prayer now is that when she finishes this new round of antibiotic she will bounce back and be at least some semblance of her old self.
