Such a Good Sport

Mom is such a good sport. We're waiting for her ride to her Thursday coffee date when she says "I don't seem to know where I'm going or what I'm doing." Good thing she says it calmly, for my sake. I just told her where and what and then her ride pulled in and off she went. I can't imagine what that must be like for her!

Something No One Wants to Talk About

This morning, when I came down stairs, there was urine all over the bathroom floor. These are things we don't usually talk about, but I feel I'm here to, not only help myself, but to also help others in the same situations. After I cleaned that all up, I found the toilet was plugged as well.

I had just said to one of my granddaughters that we've been lucky that she's sort of stayed in this same stage for so long. The very next day----was today. Hope this is a one time thing for awhile. Not sure how I'll be if it happens a lot.

Got to hold on to the fact that she was there for me when I was not toilet trained.

She Keeps Ahead of Me

While my granddaughter was changing into her bathing suit, in my mom's room, she saw 2 pills on her sewing machine. She called me in and they were actually MY night pills. Don't know how, when, or why Mom got them, but she did. Now I not only lock her pills up but I also lock mine as well.

Another Fall

Today Mom had her third fall in a relatively short period of time. We've been lucky so far with no damage. Today's fall happened when she was rushing out to tell me I had a phone call. I was putting the car in the garage for the night. I think she thought I was leaving and she was rushing to catch me before I left. Anyway, she fell down the two back steps and landed on her seat.
I'll see if she has any "hurts" tomorrow. Right now she has forgotten the fall but says she knows she did something because of a "few places here and there".
