Mom's been getting her own breakfasts. She always has the same thing every morning (she always did this even before Alzheimer's). This morning I saw her hunting for something, when I asked her what she was looking for, she answered--"There's nothing opened." I thought her cereal was empty so I got the new box down. She said she thought there was one open somewhere. I looked where her cereal always is and there was still a little left. She had forgotten where her cereal is located.
Yesterday we went to a funeral, a cousin of my father's. She didn't know anyone, even one woman who goes to coffee with her every Thursday. Mom handled it well. She smiled and answered questions. I can't help wondering what it's like for her to go off to coffee each Thursday not knowing who she's going with and maybe even where she's going. She seems OK with it, but she seemed OK yesterday also.
It's like a small child---you wonder what they are really thinking.

Emma has a controller for her lift chair and one for the TV. She is always getting them confused and the TV controller is just too complicated for her most of the time.

I know what you mean. If I have the portable phone in the living room Mom doesn't know which is the phone and which is the TV remote.
