Mom called tonight to ask if I would take her to a free clinic at the local church. I would have been glad to take her except the clinic was held last month December 5th 2007 and not tomorrow.
Mom has been diagnosed with dementia and sometimes forget things. Sometimes it gets a bit difficult to talk with her when she doesn’t remember things. It’s almost like talking to another person. I try desperately to humor her and not let her know that I am upset by her lack of memory. I basically try to encourage her when she says things like “I must be losing my mind!”. I simply say things like “you can’t be, feel your head, it’s still there isn’t it? When she touches her head, she finally says things like, “Oh you’re so crazy”.
But love conquers even alzheimer.
