Hmm...where to start. My mom is having good and bad days. Mostly bad for the moment though. Her anxiety is through the roof. She is almost always having a panic attack. The entire time you spend with her she is talking about when you have to leave. She begs us to stay. Literally, gets down on her knees and begs. What a sad and frustrating experience. She tells us she will pay us to stay with her. She is doing wonderful in her therapy though. She used to not be able to go more than two or three minutes without complaining about being hot or closterphobic(sp) during a session but she is now up to 27 minutes complaint free. She climbed a flight of stairs and has been doing squats.
She calls us - a lot. She called me a couple of mornings ago and said "Hi Sadie I'm awake" I was like "oh, I'm not" than she asked me who had power of attorney me or my aunt because she wanted to find out why she wasn't getting her hormone pills. It surprised me that she remembered that we were in the process of getting power of attorney because I haven't talked with her about it and she met with her attorney a few weeks ago when she was not doing to good. It's coming along. She is trying hard. If we could just figure something out for her anxiety we would be able to make huge amounts of progress. But I guess she is going to have to learn how to self soothe. Also part of her therapy.
