It’s Saturday and Mom is home all day. I have to make sure
that she eats; the problem is finding things she likes that she can eat. I
don’t worry about her low fiber diet any more because I have to watch her salt
intake closer then her fiber intake. Mom’s feet swell, which means she retains
water and salt helps her retain water. She can’t take a water pill because it
lowers her blood pressure.
This morning we had watermelon and a blueberry muffin for
breakfast. I give her the watermelon for her first breakfast. The watermelon
filled her up and she didn’t want anything else after the watermelon. When she
said she was hungry again, I warmed up the muffin. She ate the muffin and then
took the rest of her morning medication.
I still have half the watermelon left, but I think I’ll wait
and fix that on Sunday. The rest of the day, she needs to eat something low in
salt and to drink more water. I have some potatoes, squash, and eggs in the
refrigerator. I think I’ll fix the potatoes and eggs for lunch and then I only
have to worry about what to give Mom to eat the rest of the day. The problem is
that Mom doesn’t eat very much at one time, but she wants to eat when she gets
hungry rather then at specific time.
