Not sure what to do !!!

Yum @Shaz51, seafood is so good for us

Do you feel when your cousin asks about you Mum she is making a judgement on you rather than having your Mums interests at heart @Shaz51 ?--- after having a big talk with my cousin last night , I think she is thinking about both of us @Former-Member , the last time she saw mum , it made her soo upset ( think she was surprised )

@Ali11, mum`s blood test results all came back good except she is low in sodium , and the doctor is concerned about her BP meds , she wants to up the dose but mum gets headaches and eye ache

Hi @Shaz51

I understand your cousin I think - I feel in a similar way - caring about you and your health issues and the responsibility of Mr Shaz - tough one that - Mr Shaz -

And your Mum's independence too - but she could help everyone by taking council help and I do know how intrusive that can be -

And about your Mum's BP medication - there are a lot of different preparations and if she tries something else she might find a slightly higher dose on something else might not give her headaches and eye aches - trying different kinds might be tricky

Perhaps she needs a little bit of salt on her dinner - makes it tastier if it's not a problem

It's not an easy path Shaz - your Mum is pretty tired - I think your cousin could be a good ally - it's great you had a good chat with her

Dec

I think your cousin could be a good ally --- me too sometimes my @Owlunar

her dad ( my uncle ) is the one that passed away in march

my cousin and the family don`t know much at all about mr shaz , they have experienced depression and anxiety so ( mr shaz is ok !!!!!)

having bipolar 11 and other dianogisis is a little bit differnt

yes mum is tired , does not want anymore surgeries , she is 88 and I know my cousin whats the best for her aunty

but there is a point that I need to respect what my mum wants ( sometimes hard )

with my dad (my cousin said that i did not see my dad pass away ) --- ammm yes I did !!!, he was alive when the police came and told me

That's great that your mum's blood tests came back good @Shaz51, what do you have to do to help improve her sodium?

@Ali11 the doctor was going to put her on salt tablets but said if mum puts salt on everything she will be ok xx

sorry my second mum @Owlunar , hope i have not upset you xxxxxx
