A.) The observation I made last time of my mom on my sister’s wedding day was purely situational stress and not a real problem she has to deal with on a daily basis. I have decided to instead observe my mom who has been complaining about her foot. She says it really hurts, and that every doctor she went to can’t identify the problem. One doctor said it may be an issue connected to her spine, and another said it may be stress related.
B.) This is a real problem she is going through, and she has come to terms it can’t heal, but I told her she has to keep visiting doctors, and maybe do some form of physical therapy.
C.) I was empathetic that she was struggling to walk up and down flights of stairs, and tried staying on only one floor of the house at a time to feel what that constraint felt like.
