Mom is struggling with problems in her esophagus again. I took her a quiche on Friday afternoon...but she couldn't keep anything down. She vomited several times while I was there...all food that she had tried to eat before I arrived with the quiche. She still will not even consider having the procedure that will stretch her esophagus. No matter how many times I explain it to her and how it will help...the answer is always the same "NO". I am kind of at my wits end on this front. It may get worse ...it may just be episodic like it is now. I have to let this go.
Overall, she is doing pretty well otherwise. Her cholesterol test came back and it was great. Her medications have been changed a bit for two prescriptions...the Glipiside is now 5mg a day instead of 10mg and her water pill is 5mg a day instead of 25mg a day. She told her doctor that she was only taking the water pill every other day because it made her go to the bathroom all day and all night. She seems to be managing her medications. The shingles is still a problem. She is still taking Gabapentin. She had a dizzy spell yesterday but I don't know what to attribute it to. She said she was on a step ladder changing her winter and spring shoes around in her closet...she got dizzy and then sat down for half an hour. I encouraged to keep doing that whenever she gets dizzy...emphasizing that I don't want her to fall.
Tomorrow morning I will take her shopping and to the bank.
