What Can I Say

So I am determined to post a little progress report here but struggled with a title.  What can I say but we just keep moving forward.  Mom is still dealing with the side effect symptoms thought says maybe it is slightly better.  She still is having the head in a tunnel feeling, fatigue, nausea and awful smell/taste.  She has also been struggling with being able to sleep.  It is been ongoing prior to this due to shoulder pain and restless legs.  But it is all an intertwining loop of not sleeping and not feeling well which just seems to make it all worse.  We continue to hope that side effects minimize as the medication dosage reduces in her system. 

Peter's car was determined by the mechanic this past Wednesday to most likely have thrown a bearing requiring it to be seen by the mechanic shop that specializes in engines.  They can't see his car to even figure out what is wrong (and if it will require a new engine) until this coming Wednesday.  Meanwhile Lyft and I are trying to help Peter keep his commitment to be at work Wednesday through Sundays  Peter is not covered by insurance on my car and not allowed to drive it.  When he asked about driving Mama Millie's vehicle, I said no.  Some things are a no brainier.  We have been through Peter being car less a good bit over the past several years so I am easily getting back into the swing of being his chauffeur.  It does give me more access to him and if he is in the mood to hear what he is thinking.   I am not going to lie, dealing with Peter is wearing.  I am constantly bracing myself because I just don't know what I am going to get with each encounter.  This coming week he has a couple of appointments, one with the therapist and one with the doctor.  I hope they take place with anticipation that they could be helpful.
