The Mom Page

Mom has high blood pressure. Mom has osteoporosis. Mom has high cholesterol. Mom has diabetes.  Handling her medication management and dietary needs has been an experience. It. Is. Work! Mom's 87 years old.

One time while at her studio apartment, delivering meals and prepping a few snacks for her to have at hand for the weekend, I found a box of chocolate flavored rice crispy cereal stashed away atop an unused toaster oven, tucked away in the lowest pantry shelf, and shoved out of sight as far back against the wall as possible.  Mom was sneaking sugary treats.  A HUGE NO-NO... busted!  It's not unusual that a gentle scolding is doled out.

Oh, mom.
