rmm17 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 My Ma has recently started chemo and is awaiting the start of radiation. She says she feels pretty good (very little nausea, shortness of breath is improving), but she fatigues very easily. She's getting alittle stir crazy, but i dont know what kind of activities we can do together. Do you have any suggestions? Although her diagnosis is very scary, i think this will be a great time for us to improve our relationship and spend some q. time together.

flwrjunke Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. One thing that I just did with my Mom was to set up a puzzle on a card table and we all worked on it. It was something we did when I was young and sitting around the card table together talking about old times was really really great. Best of luck.

rmm17 Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 Well, we're usually pretty active doing sports and things, but it looks like that may not be an option. But we like to watch movies and do crafts and stuff..also i hate being in the house all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamasbabygirl Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I love that idea Katie! My boys would love it too! My mom and I are scheduled on November 10 to take a jewelry making class at one of the local high schools. It was actually her idea. Can't wait!

nancy c Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Take a little walk daily and enjoy the beauty of nature. When I do that now, every beautiful thing reminds me of my husband. God bless,Nancy C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamataca Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I wonder if it really matters "what" you do...as long as you do something! Sometimes it's the least planned nights that we have the most fun. Rent a couple of movies, get some food she likes...talk. That's the real treasure.
