Yesterday, when mom came home, dad asked her what the doctor said to her.

Mom told dad that the doctor changed some of her medication, and said if she did not feel better in one week to let her know. Mom also told dad that her blood pressure was 126/70; which is pretty high for mom. Her blood pressure is usually around 100/60, so mom was kinda worried that it was that high. Dad said not to worry because that was normal, but mom has her doubts. She talked to me about what the doctor said, too.

Dr. Robinson said mom was highly agitated because of the change in medication and that’s why mom is taking a different one. Dr. Robinson said the medication mom was taking was treating only depression which mom doesn’t have; she has anxiety. The other medicine the doctor changed was the one for acid reflux; the generic kind was only aggravating the situation–not helping. So mom told me she was through with generic medications because they apparently didn’t work as well as the original. I don’t mom think told dad all of the above probably she because she didn’t want to worry him. On a good note, however, mom only slept about 12 hours today instead of the usual 16. I was getting worried that mom just didn’t want to be around any of us anymore, and that was scary.

But, now that I know that was not the case, I am reassured as I am sure dad is. Tonight maybe I won’t have to sleep as close to mom as I have been doing.
