Mom's muscles have really been hurting her lately. She has been making comments more regularly about her arm hurting. She's also been saying that her muscles have been weak at times.
I've observed Mom's arm weakness. That's why I am now helping her with buckling the seat belt when she rides in my vehicle. However, she's also been carrying her purse in a strange position and when I mention it, she says that her arm feels weak and she can't carry her purse with that arm. Now, we're not talking about a large or heavy purse, so I've got to wonder just how weak her arm is feeling.
I've also observed Mom's leg muscles weakening. Very often, when Mom tries to get up from a seated position, she must "rock" herself up to a standing position. To an observer, I'm sure it looks like Mom is a ski jumper, seated in the starting gate and getting ready to propel herself down the slope. From my perspective, I see one of those puffy/raised toilet seats and maybe a couple of inflatable cushions in our immediate future. Ready, set, go!!!!
