My mom had major surgery almost 3 weeks ago and I’ve been doing almost everything for her. She can go to the bathroom, shower and dress herself, but she needs help getting her meals, and she can’t really do the laundry or the dishes so I’ve been doing that stuff. On top of all that, plus grocery shopping multiple times per week, my co-worker at my job is on a very long vacation and she usually helps me at work when I need it. I feel very overwhelmed right now. I come home from work exhausted and still have to do everything around the house for myself and for her. My mom’s doctor said she should be fully recovered 4 weeks after surgery, which will be around February 5. They also told her to get a little bit of exercise each day to help recover, which she hasn’t been doing. I’ve been offering to take a short walk with her outside every day and she says she doesn’t want to. Then, I said we could just walk to the end of our driveway (which is very short) and get the mail together, and she keeps telling me “tomorrow we’ll do it.” 🙄 I’m also scheduled to move out of her house and into an apartment on February 15, and she’s trying to guilt trip me by saying “what if I’m not recovered in time!” And I’m just like...how are you going to guilt trip me when you’re not even taking an active role in your own recovery?!?! I’m trying to help you now while I still live here and you won’t take it?!?! 😓 She’s supposed to go back to work on February 8 anyway, which is a week before I’d be moving out. I don’t know how she’ll ever get to that point if she doesn’t put the effort in trying to get back to her normal routine. I understand that sometimes recovery takes longer than normal, but I’m just trying to do what her doctor said would help her. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m literally so stressed that my stomach hurts.
