I was telling the nurse that mom had a good night last night, she only woke up every two hours :) and she just gave me a looong look. I hardly even flinch any more when dealing with her incontinence and toileting issues. The newest one is calling my name over and over, that's been going on for a few weeks. It still gets on my nerves but I'm adapting. What changes have been hardest for you all to adapt to?
There is so much that is new. Not all is bad. Sometimes the new normal means that they are nicer than they were in the past. That makes things easier. Old-Ma could be as mean as a bear.
