Why do people seem to get more cantankerous as they age? Yesterday when we took Mom to the eye doctor, we found out that it was old appointment that had been cancelled. Oh, did she get belligerent! She was downright rude and it upset me. That is not the way she behaves or as I told her, that is not the way we were raised.
Next we went to visit my brother. He has my mom's dog and it was nice seeing that Lilly remembered me and Mom.
Yesterday I had a rather big lunch and paid for it dearly. My sister, Mom, and I had lunch at this family diner. When you order a "special," it is enough for two. It included a cup of soup, salad or cottage cheese, the entree with vegetable and a desert. I was stuffed! I didn't eat the entire entree, but I had problems the rest of the day just living in the bathroom. My tummy hurt. My ostomy hurt. Ginger ale and soda crackers became my food of choice.
Looking forward to going to Florida.

I agree but it's difficult for our mothers & their contempories andsometimes a trip to the doc etc takes a lot of effort ( my mother has to get a taxi since her bus service stopped ) I met a 94 year old lady I know on her way back from the Docs in the bitter cold having had a wasted walk as her nurse app was cancelled. She was fuming & I did feel sorry for her.
Sorry to hear you are poorly xx
I don't know why some old people get cantankerous, although your mom always did say what was on her mind. You handled it really well tho. Be sure to tell Danny what he can expect. LOL
Sitting on a beach...listening to waves...and blocking out belligerent voices sounds amazing!
My Mom does things like this too. Maybe they just feel like people don't pay attention to them because they are old.
