My Mom is "Skewed"!

I've mentioned previously that my Mom has been complaining about her arm lately. Her arm hurts. Her arm is losing strength. Her arm can't move in a certain direction. Because of this, Mom often needs help buckling her seatbelt or carrying groceries... or even carrying her purse.

Now, we've come to a new threshold: Mom needs help getting dressed.

At first, it was just her bra. Because her arm can't move in certain positions, Mom had a hard time getting her bra hooked and turned around. Ladies, you know the "struggle" I'm talking about! I could understand that. It's something that has to be done, so what can I do?

Now, it's her pants. I have noticed lately that Mom's pants are "skewed". What I mean by skewed is that her seams don't line up. Especially the back seam. It's a strange thing to walk behind your Mother and see that her pants are not on straight. It's even stranger (and really funny, actually!) to understand that her seams aren't straight because she had trouble pulling her pants on.

Mom will not ask for help with her pants. However, she has told me that if I notice that she is "skewed", I should let her know. Sometimes, it's just easier to act. LOL
