The title pretty much sums it up. Mum's favourite nephew came for a flying visit this morning. Mum was quiet, she joined in a bit, but the point is she sat down for about 2 hours. Mum hasn't been able to sit still since she had a TIA at the end of last month. We have had over 2 weeks of pacing and wanting to sit outdoors in a t-shirt and crying over the smallest things, a fair number of which aren't true.
I know it's the Alzheimer's, but it's so draining, I'm stressed. I front of my cousin hostess mode was in full force, the minute he went upstairs to go to the bathroom she was on her feet and pacing, the minute she heard him returning she sat down. I know questioning is pointless, but I said why not pace in front of J***, her answer was she couldn't let him see how she is. It really frustrated me, I am her sole carer and as such I bare the brunt of all her moods, mum is very muddled to say the least, yet with it enough to hide her symptoms when it suits. No wonder family think I exagerate! There's no real way to fix this, it's just arrrhhhhhh!!!
