She knew my name

I forgot to say that she even knew my name during my last visit.
I was really happy to hear her call me by name
a number of times!
She also said there was a red plate and a yellow plate.
But the best thing was that when she got irritated at me
she called me by a different sibling's name
and that made me grin with happiness hahaha.
Which made her more irritated and call me it again :D

I have to admit something though.
All this being a bit clear-headed was Very stressful for me because
all of a sudden she was talking about going out etc.
and it made me anxious.  In the end though I got my jacket and said
I would be back later. She asked if I was going home (gulp)
I was a tad scared to answer incase she wanted to come with me-
but I said yes, I will be back soon, and she accepted that answer
and said goodbye.

(whew)

Days Go By as Autumn Falls

Weeks fly by as though days...
Months pass quickly as weeks.

Mom's health has improved greatly recently.
She actually has said a few sentences that make sense
and follows instructions.
The other day i got a phone call saying she was "Very Busy"
and had landed on her butt because of this so they had
taken her for a walk.
She had been attempting to lift her rollator onto a chair.
The time before she was found on her butt she was in the bathroom
with her ( too tight) pants around her ankles.
I went over and removed all her medium pants
and put all her short sleeved shirts into a drawer.
Anything too small went out, i would have brought them to the
thrift store but the name labels are permanent.
After the visit I went to the thrift store and purchased a ton
of velveteen stretch pants, long sleeved shirts and sweaters.

Happily she still eats all the food on her plate and doesnt fight
tooo hard to take her meds - which she isnt on anything much at all.
Oh and she still toilets herself!

I feel badly about her room being bare but she tries to hide
everything and the items get ruined.
Other people's rooms are so beautiful with plants and pictures, furniture
and photos... But the photos i brought disappeared , the lamp was taken
apart and stashed in a drawer, her quilt vanished into the laundry etc.
Instead, her room has odds and ends of things she has taken-
odd shoes, pieces of wheelchairs, bed remote controls,
crayons pencils yarn,  you name it LoL
I love her .
