Good Morning shinies ... well it started good, but went downhill fast ...
Sipping my first coffee of the morning and happily vaping some light menthol earlier today when I heard my Mom (she has dementia) get up and start rummaging around her room. Usually that means she'll start pulling out all the clothes from drawers and closet until I stop her. However, this time I heard plastic rustling and figured I'd better get in there right away and see what she was into ...
She had emptied a small plastic bag that held some christmas cards and other bits of paper and such that she wants to save, and she had put the bag on her head like a hat ... the plastic bag was actually just large enough to pull right down over her head, which she then proceeded to do like she suddenly thought she was putting on a turtle-neck sweater, except this didn't have a hole at the other end for her head to go through. AACCKK! If you're thinking she probably would have been fine and just pulled it back off, you haven't seen her panic trying to get out of her nightgown. Anyway, crisis averted, but bleeping bleep bleep!
It seems some additional Mom-proofing is in order. But for now, more coffee ... and vaping ... good thing there's no JD in the place cause it's kinda early for that ...
Wow, that's stressful but at least you've unburdened yourself about it which is always good. You're obviously doing a great thing looking after her but I know it's a very difficult disease to deal with .....Chin up
