Today most of the day I was with my mom. She now has a falling heart and is very weak. Walking just a dozen steps will leave her exhausted so getting my 10k steps with her is impossible. So we went to the doctor and as a Pharmacist we discussed how to get her optimal treatment for her condition.
We went to the accountant to get her taxes done. My mom is great at many things but she was never good with paperwork and numbers and her stroke had only made that much worse.
I helped her get a few errands done and after that we talked about death, dying, her condition and how to live the best she can for as long as she can. Kind of depressing actually.
By the early afternoon she was exhausted so my wife and I took a walk around town.
Not an exciting town, but a friendly and safe one.
As we walked around town we had one person notice us take a picture in front of a mural so he spotted and told us where all the other ones were.
Others stopped to say hello, or talk about little things. Overall very friendly.
We walked by the house we have here. It is rented as an investment now... but when I'm old I think it would make a great retirement home.
We walked through back alleys that felt like a step back in time.
And I have to smile at my mother's sitting room which is right out of the 1970s.
Well, except for the printer there :)
In the evening I visited my sister. Her house was pretty cluttered but it was lively with all the animals. These two big, elderly dogs were certainly the friendliest.
But their decor was something sort of stereotypically Canadian.
I mean who else would keep a bear in their living room?
A guess a bittersweet day. Loved spending time with my mom. Sad to know her days are getting short.
That's it for today,
Until tomorrow
