I've got Thanksgiving taken care of. Grandma is letting me do the turkey and dressing... She is the matriarch of the family...back in the day, her house would be filled with people for holiday parties, and boy, could she sure put out a good spread.
Now it is just a small family thing for the holidays. I thought she would be offended if I asked to do the turkey! NOpe! Shocked me, she was actually GLAD to not deal with it!
At least that's a start. Hopefully, it will get better from there.

I am glad to hear that your mom was able to find a doctor to treat her as she should be. Better late than never...sounds like it happened right on time, too.
I do notice that doctors are very skittish about prescribing "fat" pills - but they will prescribe everything else! I had to make a big push to get a prescription for Meridia and Xenical. Those worked well for me, as long as I could afford to take them...but they never solved the underlying food issues. So when I couldn't buy the prescriptions, the weight came back.
