My grandmother is driving me nuts. I feel awful even saying that, but she is. Tonight when I went to get her ready for bed, she had eaten a piece of strawberry pie. She's allergic. So she was swelling. And then we had to go to the ER because the hives started.
She bought the pie at the grocery the other day. The one time I didn't go through the aisles with her and watch her every move but let someone else take her.
I just get so tired of this. She always apologizes when she's eaten something like strawberries or also peanuts, she's allergic to those, too. And yet, if I don't watch her every second of the day she keeps eating these things or doing things that cause problems, like filing on her false teeth. She doesn't like the fit, so instead of just waiting until the dentist can fix them, she files on them. Then they are ruined. So we start all over again.
AAAAAAAAagh. I love her but I am really starting to lose it.
She's not confused about this stuff. She knows she's doing something that will cause her to get sick or something. But it's almost like a child- she wants to eat strawberries, so she does, no matter the consequence. It seems selfish to me. I don't know. Maybe she can't help it.
I feel awful complaining. I just get so tired

you do need support and validation too. you're doing a very difficult task. ~ love dee
This is a new way of looking at things. I think I'll go book shopping too and see what I can find that might be a good help and guidance
