In another thread I have described how my mother has been trying to get out of the apartment at night to go home. She has calmed down now and doesn't try to "escape" anymore, but still asks to go home.
Yesterday when I came from work she asked me if she could take the bus from where we are to go "home". When I said no, she told me to call Erik and ask him to come and get her. Just to give her time to think I asked her again who she wanted me to call and she looked at me and said: - You have to call Erik and ask him to come and take me home.
I was quite puzzled by this so I asked her if she knew who I was. She just looked at me, shook her head and kept looking at me. When I told her I was Erik, there was no recognition. She just said: - Oh, is your name Erik?
I checked her temperature, because I know if she has an infection or a fever she becomes very confused, but her temp was fine.
Later in the evening things were back to normal and she knew who I was again. I guess this is the first sign that I'm slowly disappearing out of her world.
