Mom has always said, "As long as I have an appetite and can eat, you don't have to worry about me." Well, today, for the first time in as long as I can remember, Mom just said that she doesn't have much of an appetite. Yikes!
In addition, she has really low energy for the second day in a row. Mom isn't feeling like doing much. She said that yesterday, she would do one thing (like wash the dishes) and then have to sit down and rest/watch some TV before she could motivate herself to do something else. This is just not like Mom!
When I got home last night, she even had a list of things that I had to "finish up" for her! She left a load of laundry in the dryer because she didn't feel that her legs would support her if she went to the basement to get the clothes. Again, yikes!
I also noticed that she just didn't have the ability to tolerate certain things. For instance, Mom has a hard time turning off the TV in the living room. The on/off button sits a little funnily and you have to press it just right in order for the TV to turn off. I have no problem with this, but since Mom cannot see very well, she has to do some strange maneuvering in order to turn the TV off (don't ask!). Last night, she attempted this once and then gave up. She just left the living room... didn't turn off any lights along the way as she usually does. It was just like she had run out of energy and couldn't do one more thing.
Now THIS worries me.
