Mum is in a you can go home love I'm ok on my own and other loops mood . Just write my tablets down for me and put em on fireplace I'll be alright. You can't stay here all the time. I was going to read when you went. We've only ham for lunch and dont know if we've any bread. I'm fine on my own.
If only that were true.
She got up this morning oohing and aahhing even more than usual said she hadn't slept well and then said she had pain in her chest on one side then the other then rubbed her tummy. I asked if wanted me make the tea 'no I can do it am fine' went off more oohing and aahing but that stopped to eat her biscuits and didnt start again. No mention of any pain since so hopefully nothing.
Then she asked are you my daughter? Yes. Is it Andie? Yes. Did you sleep here? Yes. Have you not been coming to see me? Yes I'm here I see you all the time. I thought you'd not been coming to see me only sleeping here cos I didn't think I'd seen you only when I got up.
Then she asked who else had been coming, had friend been? So I said just me, hubby and sis sometimes. Then she said why would friend come cos we're not friends now are we? No not anymore.
Then she was talking about changing her bed today but after
her shower she'd taken towels and bathmat out of bathroom to wash instead and made her bed up as normal and when I asked her if wanted help doing her bedroom when I came out of shower she said no I said I'd do it tomorrow.
Then she was dusting odd thing here and there so I said are you busy mum? No not really am just pottering about for something to do cos nothing to do today.
When I asked her to come take her vitamins a bit later she said I thought I'd taken em. Not to today mum. Are you sure. Yes mum.
It was ten minutes or so after that she started with Are you going home today? and I said tonight (thought might try putting thought in head I wasn't staying) she said you can go now if you like I'm fine on my own. Etc etc.
We had a round of are you our Andrea ? Yeah. Where do you live? Oh our Andrea lives there.
Bit of a gap for ten minutes knitting which she did wrong and pulled out, went and put towels on airer then back to have you been sleeping here? Well you can't do that forever I'll be fine on my own. I'm ok.
Then sis text to ask how mum is and mentioned something else. Mum asked what I was doing so I said replying sis. Asked what said so told her news and that she had asked how mum was. What did you tell her? I said usual.
So then started a couple of rounds of she doesnt come to see me. She came weekend before last. She doesn't ring me. She rings every saturday. She texts you but never asks how I am. She just did she asks every day. How do you know, you don't live here. No mum but I've been staying here and hear her ring. So that was another round of you cant do that forever I'm fine on my own.
Then a brief pause and we were back on are you our andrea? Yeah. When did you come did you stay here. Yeah. I wonder if our andie will come today, she might not cos its raining. Maybe not then no.( going with flow) but then she asked are you our andrea again. Yes mum. But I thought you were 'friend'. Eer no (don't know what I'm supposed say now am both) Did I go to your house yesterday? Yes we did. Then when did you come here? I came back here with you last night. Oh right. Did you stay here?. Yes mum. Oh right, i don't think our Andie will come today cos it's raining now.
Was it raining when you come? (Not sure who I am now but for ease and it was raining when we came last night) yeah. Brief pause to talk about washing.
Did you sleep here Andie? Yeah. On that thing? (Fold up bed) yeah. I think i remember us talking bout it. Yes we were last night. Did friend come this morning did you see her? No I didn't. Wonder if I told her not to come cos our Andie was coming, she might just come though anyway, i can't get rid of her, she's always here I mean she's good to me but she never goes home. Mmmm. Where does she live? I'm not sure. Is it near you? I don't think so. I think she said she lives at --- that where you live isn't it ? Yeah. Does she drive? i think so. I ant seen her car when she's here. Oh. Maybe she comes on bus or hubby drops her off. Maybe.
Managed to distract her into sorting some more washing and think when she comes back I'll suggest putting tele on and get my knitting out and hope we can find something on tele to talk about instead of these loops.
Fingers crossed but not holding out much hope X
