Susan is still following me about all the time. Stands a stares at me. Asks have I seen where her mum is, walking around looking for her. Moving things. Pacing up & down. But this is sssooooooo frustrating......... she asks me questions without finishing the sentence and then gets angry at me because I do not know what she wants or is after.
I get "I told you what". Or "oh boll..... if you don't want to do it".
"Do what ?" trying to second guess what she is after. Looking in the same direction to see if something clicks with me.
I get "your memory is getting bad you should see a doctor". Time to change subject, diplomatic withdrawal or some such distraction.
I sat with her all day on Sunday, all day. Still had lots of unfinished questions directed at me. Fine until bed time. Toilet = no, wash = no, pyjama's = no, clean teeth = no. I did get her to take medication, I'm wise now. I do it when she is in a good mood. Susan wanted to go home.
"We'll go tomorrow, stay here for the night".
ok "would it be ok if she ..........." ????? If she what ??? "That's it you look after yourself. I'm going"
"ok I'm going to bed".
"F... you" banging of door. I've discovered something else Susan can do. Turn the lights on, not off, just on. House looked like Blackpool seafront. The unfinished questions are torture. I can not help or answer Susan it's frustrating me. The book dementia speak don't help. I know a cup of toffee = coffee.
Have to laugh. I wonder what it will be tonight.
