Istiqlál (Independence ),
2 ‘Azamat (Grandeur), 169 BE – Friday, May 18, 2012 about 5:50 PM Pacific Time
Monday through Friday Mom goes to the adult daycare center
and receives two meals plus snacks. On Saturday and Sunday, she remains home;
therefore, I have to plan her meals and snacks. This weekend we will have
waffles and eggs for breakfast with coffee and juice. On the waffles, we will
have hazel nut spread, jelly, or peanut butter. Mom usually has peanut butter
on her waffles, but this Saturday I will put the hazel nut spread on her
waffles and see how she likes it.
For lunch on Saturday, we will have leftovers. I fixed a
large pot of spaghetti on Thursday, so we have a lot leftover. There are green
beans and sweet potatoes in the refrigerator that I will fix. If we don’t
finish those for lunch then we will have them for supper on Saturday.
I think that for snacks I will serve canned fruit or ice
cream. I have waffle cones; I know Mom would like to have an ice cream cone. It
is warm now and so the ice cream will be a cool treat. I am looking forward to
the ice cream myself.
Mom is not able to fix her own meals any more. The thing I
miss most on weekends is my mother’s cooking. Mom was a good cook and she fixed
wonderful dishes for us to eat on the weekends and the days we were both at
home. I guess things like this are to be expected when caring for an Alzheimer’s
sufferer.
