Looks like your Mother enjoyed the party. She did good keeping the beat to the music. You really are a good and patient daughter. It can sure be trying at times.

It is want we would want in their shoes. I remember fighting with my mom to take her pills one day, she was being very stubborn and so was I, when she spit them all out I just sat back and laughed, then she did too. No pills that day but we both laughed and hugged each other, a memory I will never forget.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057778260580397324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486219060874117495.post-42043401295476089752015-12-13T14:50:46.728-08:002015-12-13T14:50:46.728-08:00Oh, Karen, that is difficult.

Old age, dementia, adding to the removal of her independence, all affects her dignity. I was lucky when Dad passed; he only kicked the Doctor out of his room. He said, "I don't know who you are, get out of my house." We all smiled and asked the physician to leave the room :)gvmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867025752175321347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486219060874117495.post-11603551907800923392015-12-13T06:37:11.029-08:002015-12-13T06:37:11.029-08:00this year is hard, my first season with mom in a h...this year is hard, my first season with mom in a home... my mom's food is minced, so it's inbetween in texture. The party is this week (wah i dont wanna go, but i should) She picks at crumbs and cleans up, but is extremely mobile and runs around because she doesnt know where she is (alzheimers) and so I send you a ((HUG))) Seeking Serenity https://www.blogger.com/profile/13358829892824305992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486219060874117495.post-36251235636121457392015-12-12T21:32:13.315-08:002015-12-12T21:32:13.315-08:00I can't imagine how it is to be in your situat...I can't imagine how it is to be in your situation but I'm sure it must be terribly difficult. Like Far Side just commented, you're doing your best and are being a good daughter. My mom went quietly but my dad made my sisters' lives hard for the last years of his life. I,of course, was 1500 miles away from the problem. Besides he and I never really got along.<br />Let's hope your mom has a better day on your next visit.Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486219060874117495.post-74982704202156337762015-12-12T20:35:25.281-08:002015-12-12T20:35:25.281-08:00She has aged in four years, it is remarkable that ...She has aged in four years, it is remarkable that after strokes and a broken hip that she is still around. <br />Hopefully she won't stab anyone else with her fork! If she wanted real food then she should have it...and hope for the best.<br />You are a good daughter, I know it cannot be easy being the closest one to always deal with the problems. It really sucks to get old and be in the home...I hope I by pass it:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.com
