Petals Starting to Fall





These are some beautiful roses taken in the neighbourhood on a sunny afternoon as the weather turns to fall.  The petals are just starting to fall.



I took my mom to the dentist yesterday for a checkup, all was good. We give her antibiotics an hour before she gets any dental work as a precaution against the possibility of a dangerous heart infection. They do this for heart patients. Then we went to McDonald's for lunch. I usually get her a signature Mcwrap, the bacon and chicken grilled one. I substitute a side garden salad for the fries that come with the meal. She eats the wrap while I eat the salad. These are probably the healthiest options at McDonald's. She was saying a lot of silly, untrue things and I just humoured her.  She has advancing dementia and has no idea there is anything wrong with her brain.

So sorry to hear about your mom. It's a blessing that you're able to understand that her untruths aren't meant to be taken personally.

Pretty petals and beautiful color.
The spring started today here in Brazil, the flowers are starting to rise, so beautiful!

I don't like to go to the dentist, because when I extract the wisdom tooth I had so much pain D:

What beautiful roses, even when falling, they are lovely. You are such a wonderful daughter and so knowledgeable.

Christine said...

Thanks everyone for your support regarding my mother, most appreciated.

Oh, Christine... I'm so sorry. This is very hard. I know I'm always worried about my mom, but so far... more or less pretty good. I think a lot has to do with her exercising. She does the treadmill twice a day.

You are a wonderful daughter. Your mom is very lucky. I love your roses. Sad to see them coming to the end of their summer growing season.
