11/7 AMPS 88, +7 81, PMPS 94,+2.25 57,+4.5 65, +7.5 73

Another nice flat day for Deputy LagoonMistress China :D:D:D

Mama on the other hand has had a long and crazy day, but got DM's hearing aids fixed (3 hour drive to and from) got to the store, voted (YEAH...It's OVER!!) and went over to DM's to set up her new clock that tells her the day, date, year so hopefully it will help her keep track of her days.

Got the new automatic pill dispenser too but it's going to take me a little while to figure out how to use it.

After all the trouble I went to to make sure she was able to vote, the team got there today with her ballot and she told them she didn't know how to vote...I am SO upset with her. I only talked to her about voting and that these guys were making a special trip so she could do it 7 times since yesterday and then they show up and she does that

Thank goodness China is being a good kitty for mama....gives me something to smile about
 
Oh Chris, sending you a barge full of patience vines.....:bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
A friend of mine was with his grandfather at the bank, in line to handle some financial matters of the grandfather..suddenly the grandfather shrieks "help me, help me he's kidnapping me and stealing my money".. and the kicker is that the grandson didn't share the same last name so there was some serious sorting out to do...true story....
The joys of caring for an aging parent are limitless...if it was not so absolutely frustrating and anguish producing :banghead::banghead::banghead: :arghh: it would make a hilarious read...I can't count how many times my mom pulled similar stunts...:eek:
Tho now missing her I see the humor of the situation....then definitely not so much:bighug::bighug:
 
Chris, with dealing with my mom who has Alzheimzer's, it is very frustrating for sure. One minute she can be so lucid and the next minutes she is nuttier than squirrel s#&t. :banghead: It is hard not to take it personally. And as Les said above, now it's funny that her mom is gone. It will be good to laugh at it instead of being upset. :rolleyes: ( said to me as much as it is to you)
 
It is excruciatingly hard... like encountering a new person each encounter...I miss my mom horribly ( she passed early April this year) but am so grateful she is not afraid or confused anymore...
Wrapping gentle vines around you both.....and the others here coping as best they can:bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
sounds like you might want to go request an absentee ballot for her so you can just do it with her at home, and drop off the ballot.
That will make it much simpler for you... I did it with my dgm out in the nursing home.... Of course, I sign everything for her too since she can't remember how to write properly either.

China has her usual :D:cool:

I went through this kind of thing with my Dad, although mostly my sister did, as I was in CA and he was in AZ. It's so hard to deal with it and keep your patience and sense of humor intact. Hang in there.

China, keep giving your mama reasons to smile! She needs 'em right now! :D
 
I know she gets confused easily, but what makes it even worse is that she lies....One thing I could ALWAYS depend on hearing from my mom was the truth and whether it's the disease or what, I catch her lying to me all the time now.

I had called her soon after the poll workers left and asked her if she'd gotten her ballot done and she'd told me yes.....nothing about what really happened....I learned that from another lady that comes over to play cards with her in the afternoon.....at that point she could tell HER that she hadn't voted, but 10 minutes after they left, she lied to me

I know I'm incredibly lucky she's still alive and don't know what I'll do when she's gone, but tonight, I'm just really irritated with her
