FYI: I will be leaving tonight on vacation for a few days. I will call Mom twice daily to make sure she takes her meds. I will return Jan 2 and her son will be here to help her while I'm gone. She has food in the fridge in serving sizes to heat up, clean clothes, clean dishes, and arrangements are being set up to make it easier for Mom to care for the dogs and have minimal action required on her part. I even have a set up so she can keep them in the house at night without having to bend over to put them in their cages.
She is not taking her medication correctly. I have no idea what she is doing, but she believes she is taking the correct medication at the time and writes it down in the calendar. However, the medication is still in the minders. Last Friday, she took all the pills in 3 minders (so two AM's and one PM's worth) but has no recollection of doing so and refused to let me take her to the hospital. She is lethargic and slow to react/speak. Still waiting on the new medication to come in the mail for primary biliary cirrhosis. She thinks she broke a rib again, but refuses to get an x-ray. She has been eating a lot of volume and less salt than the chinese food (she still keeps adding seasoning to the chicken I make but it's still less than the chinese). Nothing else to report.
