Are you okay Lesanne? Up .5 doesn't seem like the end of the world but on top of other stuff it can

no you haven't. Not really. it's just a blip - nothing compared to how far you've come. Focus girl -
you're fabulous!

And boy - does that phrase ever make me think of "Top Gun" - anyone for the beach volley ball
scene? *grin*

meh - half a pound is nothin' hon, bet you'll sweat that off in no time at all. I like to think of
those half pound gains as routine maintenance. Anything you care to vent on the group? Might just
help ya feel better.

WE KNOW UP is part of Life. It is slight. And even if the individual day was "worse" that is why you
have chosen to average because daily weight fluctuates.

Buck up, take back control and figure out what's what and why. Not that I can say at this damp
end of the continent why having eaten 20 points that I labeled JUNK yesterday for a daily (no
average here)
160.5 - oh, that's weight, not points (G)

Oh Lesanne, I hope you haven't forgotten that daily fluctuations are a natural part of life. The
higher number on the scale today isn't a reflection of your entire existence. I'd bet money that
you're not really crashing and burning, even if it feels that way at the moment. In another day or
two you'll be eying 155 again. Until then, cry, scream, stomp, write, mope, pout, walk, run, bike,
eat carrots. This will pass.

Half a pound is nothing considering what you've lost since you started. It'll be gone before
you know it!

I don't know if I can vent it, It is really just leftovers from the stresses last month I think,
added to too much sweet junk brought home with me from my last trip. And back at home with no breaks
in the forseeable future.

How are things with your daughter? Not long ago, you and I had similar concerns about our daughters'
marital situations, and our granddaughters.

Last night when I visited my hospice patient I thought of you and Joyce and Laura and others whose
mothers (parents) are facing end-of-life health challenges. My hospice patient is bedridden with
cancer and now her skin is unbearably and uncontrollably itchy. Benadryl wasn't working so now she's
being given morphine to try to minimize the discomfort. Several times yesterday evening she woke up
long enough to plead for help, and when I tried to find the elusive spot, my touching her was almost
as bad as the irritation. The daughter, who is her sole caregiver, is still working her own business
(as a chiropractor), and the toll of caregiving is very apparent on her body and face. In the year
that I've been visiting, the daughter looks like she's gained about 50 lbs. I asked how she was
holding up with this new stress and she said she was tired. Very tired. I left feeling very grateful
that my own mother's health is good for the moment and that my father's dying was relatively short
and painfree.

I wish like anything you could catch a break. What stage of Alzheimer's is your mother? Is in-home
hospice, paid by Medicare, an option? I'm not familiar with the particulars of certifying someone
with Alzheimer's for hospice, but I do know that it can be done. At least then a volunteer could
come in and spell you on a regular, even daily, basis. And Medicare's hospice benefit also provides
for respite care...

My apologies if I've stuck an unwelcome nose in.
