Well, after my post yesterday about all the negative behaviour of mum since she's been taking Aricept -
I have just come in from work to find she has been out to the shops on her own, bought wine, choccies, flowers and a new top, found her own way home - (not lost the keys or money en route), told me she doesn't want any tea - she's made her own and she's currently sitting in the conservatory eating an apple that she has peeled herself!
I can't tell you how remarkable the difference is - normally I have to push food in front of her and tell her to eat it, and she's never taken the initiative to leave the house for the six months she's been here - I've had to do absolutely everything for her.
I am gobsmacked and thrilled - she's chatting away about her day - I hadn't even realised just how much of her has been missing until now!
This is the first happy thing I have had to share since she got ill and it's brilliant - I want to kiss the world!!!
