My mom slept ok last night....I woke up to check on her a few times...but slept ok. My kids woke me at 6:30 and my mom got up about 8:30....I think she is just used to sleeping that late...even though she may be awake and still waits until 8:30-9. Breakfast and pills and within about an hour she was already talking about a nap....Leif, Sonia and Shirley were coming over to talk about the next 2 weeks and schedule our helpers. My mom wanted to know what we would be talking about and when she went to bed about 10:30 I asked if she wanted to get up and be in the meeting she said "no". We did wake her at the end and she came out and sat and talked a little.
She still seems a little "detached" even though she participates in some of the conversation it just isn't her. It is strange to watch. She will ask for clarity when she finds herself confused. She gets really snippy with the kids and short with me. I mentioned to her today about our situation...she asked me what we were going to be talking about at our meeting and I told her that we had to organize help for the next couple of weeks. We talked about maybe looking at assisted living. I think that we will know in a couple of weeks if this is going to work. She still gets gets confused about the day whenever she sleeps and it takes a bit of convincing about the real date and what was going to happen that day.
Tonight she went to bed about 7:30pm...I tried to make her stay up but no go....so I helped her get ready (she does most of it I am just there to remind her). I put the mask on her about 8 so we shall see how long it lasts. I am realizing that I am not going to see the others who will be coming to help with my mom....so I have started lists to help....I am taking Monday off but would like to go back asap.
At this point I feel hopeful that this will work out for my mom....but also knowing that I have to stay ready to make decisions that may not be popular. For now we are trying to adjust to home. Monday she has a hair appointment and pedicure appointment and maybe a trip to the grocery store.
Take care all.
