I'm not sure why but my mother goes from extremely hot to freezing in a matter of moments. So she'll call me to either come turn the ceiling fan on or off depending.
"I can't imagine how I can be about to smother half to death one minute and then absolutely freezing the next," she says at least seven times a day. Ack.
This was a code that may mean she needed repositioning, but it also sometimes just meant she needed something else she couldn't articulate - most of the gals at the nursing home never did figure that out. Writing about it still makes me shudder.
Here are my responses, depending on my mood:
a. No, you have to do each week.
b. Yes! Just suck it up and get through today.
c. We can talk about it with the doctor
In the end, he always remembers he has to keep going, so why does he ask so often?
