And a brand new future!!! 100% cotton orange gingham check shirt size 3x from GW.....yup yup yup Love that orange check:)
Should be called GW Tuesday...purse handles...
Just sharing Carol's handsome and clever sons and their adventures...so proud for her...
Tim and Noah...very interesting.. And then....there is always this:
I called my mother tonight, she was confused. She told me that everyone hated her in the dining room and that the staff was neglecting her, eg.not answering call buttons and that all was not well. She was agitated and frustrated...so helpful me became agitated and frustrated right along with her...How helpful was that???? Trying to fix things, I emailed a complaint to the management. My sister then advised me that none of this had happened today...it had been happening spread over a week...Mom had forgotten what had happened today and what was yesterday and actually, what had happened at all. I do not like Parkinsons and I do not like the feeling that I have to double check what my mother says now. How do I advocate for someone who is confused today and not tomorrow??? Life surely is not easy.
On still another note....I dropped by J's house today after the pool. She wanted to give me some of her sewing things. J is almost ninety. She gave me her button bag:) How fun is that!!

Love the buttons! I can totally relate to your frustration with your mom! Before my dad died, he was so confused. He accused some of the previous nursing home staff of abusing him. He told a nurse. Who then was obligated to report it. No abuse took place and we knew it. Hang in there!
Buttons & orange (!) gingham! Helps the stress of knowing that you can't always believe your Mom. I'm with you.
I certainly sympathize. My mom was always someone who was in control; very decisive. Parkinson's took that away & I remember being where you are now. All of your life, you could count on that person, and then it all changes. It's very confusing, and heartwrenching. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day for both of you!
