Ok, Mom insisted on trying this place because the old ladies at the senior home recommended it. I tried telling her she won't like it. And we all know how picky she is about food! Now y'all know where I get it from! But she wanted to try.....I didn't see her for a few days and when I picked her up, I couldn't believe the physical changes in just a couple of days. Her hair is almost gone, really straggly and her face had a grayish tinge to it. I couldn't hold back the tears (sorry, I think this is going to be a common theme here) and had to look away. I cannot break down in front of her. Otherwise, she'll feel bad. I know she feels like she has to keep up a brave front for us so we won't fall apart. That's how these older Chinese women are built...stay strong and be silent if in pain. But doesn't she need an outlet to express her pain, frustration and helplessness? Damn....how can I help? Sorry, didn't want to make it sound so tragic. Because breakfast wasn't that bad - see video. Let's just say we won't be going back again!
