loose drugs?

a diary of my mother's stubborn resistance to accept help

4 December 2024

I took my mother to the doctor today… yet another assessment about her ability to live on her on, take care of her needs like grocery shopping, meal prep, hygiene, taking her medication, paying bills. When the Nurse Assistant asked her if she had “any loose rugs in her home?” My mother responded, “loose drugs? I wish!”

We all laughed, and it was the truest moment in a hard appointment!
