I havent gotten much sleep this week, and neither have my parents. My mom's broken shoulder wont let her sleep comfy...which means my dad cant sleep comfy because mom isnt comfy.

Because they're not comfy, they're making noise that wakes me up and I already have bad insomnia problems...plus when I hear them at 3 and 4 in the morning making noise and it sounds like mom isnt comfortable, I end up going upstairs to help. (my mom has been asking me to help get her comfy, because apparently I can understand my mom when the aphasia she has sometimes keeps her from actually saying what she needs. It's not bad aphasia, and doesnt happen much, but enough that my dad doesnt get it sometimes)

I know my dad is desperate to go exercise, and I'd like to go too, but I'm terrified that my mom will fall down again. I think I'm going to kick my dad out tomorrow and make him go exercise and I'll stay here and keep an eye on my mom. If she falls again, I cant pick her up, but I can dial 911 really well.

At least we took her out for a bit today (she begged us to take her somewhere) and my dad and I got to walk around the inside of Costco for about an hour, which was a lot of exercise with the crowds of rude people who see a person being pushed in a wheelchair and decide that they can just push her out of their way so they can get to the free samples faster. I was about ready to use the shopping cart as a battering ram to get by people. It was enough exercise just to walk thru there that everyone had to take a nap when we got home.

Took mom to breakfast too, and I actually got a healthy breakfast (fruit plate with yogurt and granola) I ate the yogurt and granola and some of the fruit, but got my mom to chow down on most of the fruit too. (dad ate some too)

Hopefully I can get my dad to go out and exercise some...and then maybe I can go down and use the treadmill for a bit after he gets back...as long as it doesnt snow tomorrow (supposed to)
