Hello.....we are seeing my mom's radiation oncologist this week and I plan on asking him to order an MRI before the 6 months suggested by the previous dr. we saw. If he says no, then I'll ask the oncologist. It's so hard to just up and change dr's when what they've done so far has worked! I hope we don't have to change dr's and I hope that my mom can enjoy this "stable" period to it's fullest.
On another note, I need some help finding activities to help my mom pass the time. She spent the entire winter talking about working in the yard when spring came around. Well, it's hear and everytime I ask her if she wants to plant flowers, or do some work in the yard her response is "I'm not ready for that yet". She use to enjoy watching shows on the food network, now she says "I'm not interested". I bought her a book on tape, again "I'm not ready for that". We went to the craft store...still "not ready for that". I don't know what to do and I am losing patience. I understand her vision is not the same and her comprehension continues to worsen but I don't know what to do to help her pass the time during the day. Does anyone have any suggestions??? Currently the most I can get her to do is take short walks and sit outside if the weather is warm enough. It wouldn't be that big of a problem but she is constantly telling me she's bored and basically asking me to entertain her.....argh....help!!!!!
thanks all!
