It's not something you see overnight but during the past 3 months we've only gone out once ... and that was to the foot doctor and then we did a little shopping at rite-aid next door. What is happening is her short term memory, 2-4hrs, has developed into a delirium as to "where is Mom?" (her mother), Grace will ask. "Where are the boys (Nathaniel and Joel)?; did they leave? Boy, they didn't say goodbye! ... and don't tell me they're in Texas!", she retorts. I have to remind her that she just got off the PHONE with them and that's why she thought they were here in PA! She is currently taking 10mg of Arricept and Carbadopa /Levadopa combo for her Parkinsen's desease.
Hopefully after breakfast when we watch "Hour of Power", that will cheer her up a little bit so she won't feel so depressed and "wish she could die". I told her she needs to be able to get up and around so that if next year her GREAT-Grand children visit we'll be able to go out to lunch!! Oh, gotta go she's ringing the bell... I'll see if she want to "walk the hall"! More later ...
