I am writing this while I am on family leave in Florida.
This is one of my routine visits I take during the year for
Mom and I connected this visit with my aunt’s birthday. I am sure I would have gone to Florida
anyway, but at least I made it official as Mom had a doctor’s appointment on
the same day. I only stayed down there one whole week.
Mom’s cholesterol was again high (267) and the doctor put
her on a medication. Normally I am
against medications but for this one (Colesterpol) I was told that there were
few side effects. I checked online and I
saw that most of the side effects were dealing with constipation, and other
stomach issues. I will of course monitor
from New York. I personally doubt if she
even takes this stuff. Otherwise she
seemed healthy for an 87 year old lady with limited mobility.
That’s what I keep reminding myself whenever I speak to
her. She is actually 86 years old. She occasionally will walk and on occasion
will exercise. I do not pressure her. I do
encourage her though. At 86 what’s going
to happen? She has lived.
