Hi
@annielou - how has it gone today? I hope you got some sleep
Not great unfortunately. Mum is still insisting I'm the friend and getting angry about me not being her daughter and constantly questioning me and hubby about it.
I had about three hours solid last night before bed and then it took her an hour to get in bed and stop getting up asking if this door locked and were plugs off ,then insisting I unplugged them.
Then after a ten minute pause where I thought she had finally settled so I got in bed she came back in again asking was I sure I unplugged everything. I had to get out of my bed and turn light on to show her they were unplugged, but then she noticed electric fire was unplugged.
So she set off worrying about it being unplugged, weirdly the fire has been unplugged and wire in same place on floor next to it for months and shes not used it for over a year but she said it hadnt and it was always plugged in. She was worried it was unplugged and electric would be coming out. Bit odd as she wasn't happy till tv etc was unplugged but then not happy that fire was. Nothing I said calmed her and it ended in her shouting and swearing at me about unplugging the electric fire and making us unsafe and I was always telling her off and I should go home because she hadnt asked me to stay. Then she finally went to bed, it was half twelve by this time and it took me a while to go to sleep.
Mum woke me up when she got up to go to loo about five am and she was just standing in doorway looking at me for a while so I asked whats a matter? and she said I didnt know if you were really there i thought i'd imagined you.
It took me awhile to get back to sleep again after she went back to bed and then she had another loo trip bout seven which woke me up again and so I was mostly awake from then till got up about eight.
Today has been same sort of thing mixing me up with friend a lot of time and getting annoyed and not believing I'm her daughter again.
This morning she was totally mixed up, she was phoning my house to talk to me even though I was sat opposite her at her house, she was asking where i live and trying to catch me out to prove I'm not me. She rang my mobile which she could hear ring in my hand, I showed her my screen saying mum home on it but she still wouldn't believe I was her daughter Andrea.
We went to my house at lunchtime but she still thought we were friend and hubby. After lunch she nodded for most of next hour and then I put a couple of dvds on and for a few hours this afternoon we watched them and she wasn't bad. She still called me friend a few times, lost plots of films sometimes and made some random mixed up statements about things at times but was calm and seemed happy enough.
She was the same for first hour this evening after hubby dropped me and mum back at her house, a bit mixed up but happy enough and still quite calm.
But then about nine oclock she started asking about our Andie again and trying to ring me and just wouldn't believe I am her. By 11 oclock her questions were getting really muddled and besides mixing me up with friend she was also mixing bits in from the film on tv we had on.
I couldnt really understand what she was asking me by then and I ended up crying a bit and saying I didn't know how to answer as I didnt know what she was asking me. She said she didn't either she just wanted to work out what was happening cos she didnt know. She said she was sorry she didnt know who I was and she couldn't figure it out, she didnt even know who she was and was sorry she upset me.
Then she started on about the fire plug again so we had ten minutes of that again before she went to get ready for bed. She didnt take too long staying in bed tonight, she was quiet by twelve so I should really have tried to get to sleep too. I was textin hubby at home for a while and then came back on here as even though I'm shattered I felt too awake to sleep so I've ended up typing this epic long post
Think I should go try to sleep and stop rambling and whining now though.
Thanks for asking how things were today and sorry for the long ramble.
