Well this weekend my son came in from Maryland, and the girls from Edmond so we had a houseful and it was fun! Mom was a bit overwhelmed with the "idea of company" But when everyone got here she began to relax a bit. She wasn't sure who everyone was or how they were related but she did know she loved them (grandkids)
Since we did some cooking we seem to have collected several flies in the house. Back in the day mom was a Ninja when in came to catching flies..... I kid you not, she would pluck them out of the air with her bare hands. Well today she had one buzzing around her head and instead of having her "Ninja" skills on target she was a bit off...... she tried to get it and wound up smacking herself on the forehead pretty hard..... when she realized what she did she started laughing like the rest of us!!
We had lots of fireworks and mom was not too crazy about the noise... hard to believe since she can't hear anyone who is talking to her. LOL She decided to go to bed a bit early.
This morning about 9 mom wakes up and says "Where have I been?" to this I reply "asleep" she stares at me and announces that she is going to "go back there" and off she goes down the hall back to bed!....... 3 hours later... she's up. Wish I could check out like that!!
This blog is to help share my adventures, yes adventures with my Mom's dementia and to help keep me as sane as possible... not saying much!! We shall see how this goes and where it winds up. Kinda like walking in a blizzard wearin' white...
You forgot about the fly.. she was trying to kill it and it flew on her face and she got herself in the forehead!
