Hi
I visited Mum and Dad for the first time since the very hurried admittance to the care home last Monday (both my daughters had visited over the weekend)
I dreaded visiting, because reports had said Mum wanted to go home and only very late, when exhausted would she go to her room, which means Dad was also not getting to bed.
However, it was much better than expected. Mum appeared to be in her element, talking to this one and that one and of course everyone knew her, because everywhere she goes she meets someone who knows her (so famous!!)
She thinks her Mum and Dad owns the whole place, but she also thought that when they were in the chalet in my garden, her Mum and Dad owned the whole village!! I wish, we would be worth millions by now.
Anyway, Mum insisted I took home with me a brass standard lamp with spotlights, from the lounge, as she had ordered some more and they were arriving next week. I carried the lamp to reception to keep her happy and they laughed when I explained why, told me to just leave it and they would return it
Although Mum is as "normal" I'm not so sure about Dad, he was very quiet, but that isn't unusual, he has always been quiet, but there was just something I wasn't quite happy about. He was disorientated and a bit confused.
It is 10 days since Aricept was stopped. Would I notice a deterioration this soon?
Thanks Alfjess
