Mom may have to go to the ER tomorrow. Her incision looks really infected.
Her mind is slipping so much it scares me. A little while ago she asked me if I would wrap the presents she bought. She has not bought any presents. She almost cried when I gently asked her "what presents?" She gets confused a lot and says off the wall stuff like the thing with the presents several times a day. Her heart doctor said not to worry about it too much right now, that some patients experience that for a while after surgery. Hopefully she will regain some of her brain power.
Tomorrow I need to clean her room. It's a royal mess. I need to clean the rest of the house too. I haven't been to church in so long, and I usually try to have a day of rest on Sundays, but I seem to have so much I need to get done asap. Maybe I can rest Monday. Doubtful!
The diet is going well, at least. I managed to get Mom to eat three meals today. She's bad about skipping meals. I made an in-depth menu for this coming week. It will require me to do more cooking than I normally do because I'm trying to stay away from high-sodium items. That includes most convenient foods, unfortunately.
I haven't had any major mental health issues this week. Just kind of blah, or blue at times. And anxiety, of course. Always anxiety. Nothing I can't handle though.

I'm sorry to hear you're going through that with your mom.
It has definitely been challenging.
