We have had an ok few days , Mum seems to be more unsettled at night , she is getting up early , as soon as I get up, then only goes to bed when I do , I then get back up to try and see my husband for a while alone to chat about our day etc , no routine at all so I must try and get another one going . Yesterday she sat in garden with me and then I got up to cut the grass at 2pm and she slipped off indoors and went to bed for 3 hours ! Got bored waiting so went in garden , of course I wasn’t there when she woke up and came out with the face on , daughters tried to lighten her up but she blanked them both and stormed round the garden looking for husband, he saw her coming and hid in the shed . I wanted to hide and not deal with it for just once but of course that benefits no one , so calm was restored within a minute or two . She was talking about when I was a baby my dog protected me (she is only 6 ) and she knew when I was coming home from school , mum is confusing her with our neighbours dog . Evening ok , up a little later this morning and seems ok so far. Husband finds it extremely strange that mum has absolutely no comprehension that it was my birthday and when they sang happy birthday she looked at them like they were completely crazy , we didn’t make any mention of it apart from that, opened presents while she was in bathroom as I didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable . He thinks that deep bond as a mum she would have remembered on some basic level but she hasn’t known for a couple of years really . Took part in a quiz on conference call with our local singing for the brain group and it was great , even though I scored poorly , we had a giggle or two . Look forward to next week and will have to swot .
