Mom has been good lately, she has a real loose tooth that will be removed at her next dentist appt. that leaves her about 6 teeth on the bottom... good grief that girl has bad teeth.. bless her heart. She has been wanting to go to Canada, I think the warm weather triggers thoughts of the beach. I have told her that I too would like to go but it is too far and too $$.
I have been wanting a pool for several years and a few weeks ago Anthonys friend had one he was ready to get rid of. So he and his friends took the pool down and got it up and running in about a week. 'A' about died doing it.. he got heat stroke and missed several days of work but he finished it which was the goal.. Mom and I have been in it about 3 or 4 times in the last couple of weeks and it seems to satisfy the "Canada" issue.. so far so good anyway!
Her overall state has changed only a wee bit.... She now prefers to eat with her fingers, and often doesn't recognize what the "fork" even is. She has completely forgotten how to wipe her bum after using the restroom, so we change panties several times a day because she doesn't like the brown skid marks and wonders why they are there. When I am with her I always follow her and remind her to 'wipe' her bum..... It is crazy that the clean freak in her doesn't even appear for this activity... She is enjoying "America's Got Talent".... and the caregiver Jo is working out well.
We (A and I) hope to get away for a few days, one of my daughters and Jo will care for her when we are gone,,,,Of course, brother has yet to volunteer a night of care even though he talks about it a lot.
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...
