# 16 translator needed!

I've decided to not call each blog a day.... seems confusing since it's more like monthly!     Things have been a bit weird lately.     Last month after mom kept crying (almost daily) about going to Canada, I talked to her doctor to see if her meds could be adjusted.     She is in pretty darn good overall health no blood pressure or cholesterol meds at all!      but she is on some Alzheimer and depression stuff.    The dr said we should adjust the depression meds so we did.... Well today I am hoping we can go back to the original dose.   I wanted to give it some time..... it did make her stop crying but it really affected her ability to process and think clearly.     She/I  have had a rough time of it.    She already struggles with ideas and words and this medicine really screwed her thinking up even more.  Multiple times she couldn't put her shirt on.... she would climb into it like it was pants...one leg in each arm.   Hopefully she can do better on the lower dose.

We went to Target today, and of course I had to get us some popcorn. It was time for a snack and they have great popcorn. After we ran our errands and had eaten about half the popcorn we went home.    Since she likes the birds and squirrels we have in our front yard I told her they might like our leftovers.      I told her to toss/sprinkle the popcorn out in the yard while I unpacked our packages.    I look out the window and there she is tearing up the bag and sprinkling small pieces of bag all over the yard!!   I went out to help her get it right... it took a bit but she eventually got it.  The squirrel was VERY happy !

Tonight when she decided to go to bed, she got up off the recliner and looked around the room, I asked her "Are you going to bed?"  ..... she said "There is no sense in doing this and this and all the rest right now"  I agreed...... If someone could please translate ????
