Sympathy

I am thankful that my mother is still aware enough to be sympathetic when I am not feeling well.
Yes, she forgets right after I tell her.
Yes, she comes up with silly solutions like it's something I ate.
Forgetting I have arthritis and I hurt, or my eye hurts a lot.
(which can become irritating after a while)
But at least she isn't like my father who just wants to make sure I am going to get over there.
I am un-movable when it comes to changing the day of the week no matter how much he tries.
I have to rest !
