My mother's brain is slowly going backwards in some respects.
When my stepson was nine he would visit his father everyother week.
There were gothic type prints on the wall and he would say that the pictures
changed each time he visited.
I told him it was that his brain was growing and learning to observe
more details.
I feel my mothers brain is doing the same thing but shrinking
instead , making old things new, except new over and over.
lately i have been less able to deal with it all.
she of course wants to return to her home state and then asks what state
she is in !
Boy wouldnt you love to lie and say she already is ?!

Eventually it becomes important to be a good liar, in order to keep them in a peaceful state. When I leave Mum at the nursing home and she asks when I'll be back, I say 'tomorrow' even though it's not true, because if I said 'in a week' she'd be very upset. I know the minute I've left she won't remember what I said. Louise
