I wish Mom had gone through with the endoscopy. I went out there last night to have dinner with her and she was not able to keep any of her food down. I suspect that she is no longer able to eat beef...it is just too difficult for her to chew and swallow. I got her some canned fruit and tried to encourage her to eat it. She had a few bits and then vomited again. I then encouraged her to take a small drink of water so she could get her night time pain medicine down to help the pain associated with shingles. She drank the water...took the pill and then vomited that up as well. She has lost 5 pounds since August when we started charting her weight.
I am going to make an appointment with her doctor. She agreed to go but told me not to say anything to the doctor about what is going on...she says she doesn't want anything done to alleviate the situation. I don't know if this is depression...or if she is just giving up. I think I am morally obligated to be forthcoming with her doctor. Navigating Mom's health issues are not easy.
