At my wits end

We're over here, not waving but drowning.
Times of the day and days of the week do get quiet on here sometimes.
Meal times, bed time and the day after a bank holiday weekend like today it does get quiet.
Still only 3 minutes until wine o'clock.
Don't worry, always someone here to listen. K

Im sorry to say that the advice is right - you cant expect a rational conversation with dementia.
Im guessing that your mom has very advanced dementia now and cannot remember that she asked you to move her pillows. She may well be able to relate to things "in the moment"
💗 Hello
My Dad doesn't have lewy body dementia but he cries a lot , his emotions are not controllable sometimes, he might wear a new easier to fasten shirt or try easier shoes but we always end up even a few mins later reverting back to what was before even if he asks us to get these things. Makes little sense either but then this is dementia and I can't make sense of it myself.
Maybe the pillows just do not feel right, maybe your mum is just seeking some comfort and the pillows are just a way of expressing that. If we were able to move our own pillows it would be moving them this way and that trying to get the right position. I would tend to 'pretend' to move the pillows to be fair, fluff them up a bit maybe. It is hard but easier to go with it rather than try and reason.
