Thanks @Woo2 x Yes they've been quite good compared to past weeks, since the weekend of SW visit mum has been a lot calmer and not really been aggressive since then. I'm not sure if its something to do with that or if sertraline is kicking in again. Either way it's been better for us all. I was pleasantly surprised when she let me do housework at hers yesterday and didn't flip and turn on me during it like mostly did in past.
She isn't doing well on shower or hair washing front though, after washing her hair and making sure to tell me about her doing it that weekend after SW visit, she didn't wash it again all last week until the saturday and only went in shower, that I can tell, once during last week. I don't think she's been in the shower at all this week so no shower or hair wash since last saturday this week yet. Mum's neighbour goes in shower during the day and if its quiet at mums we can hear her scraping tiles and floor down with squeegee afterwards and mum often comments about how late she is showering and says she went in earlier that morning. I don't know why she says it when she hasn't been in at all. ? ?
She's been talking about her mum and my dad a lot again this week, thinking her mum is still alive and she should check if she is ok and thinking my dad has just left and asking where he is, or if I've seen him and mum has rung me or my sister on an evening quite a few times asking about him. She's not known who I am a lot of time like usual, so has also been asking about me while I'm there and when she's rung at night sometimes it's been to ask me if I've been to see her, so most calls she's been wondering why she is on her own not with her mum, my dad or me. At moment mum seems to think I was living with her and dad till they split up recently and keeps asking me what she did with our Andrea when she moved there. It makes me sound like some sort of ornament or bit of furniture as she asks in same way as she'll ask What happened to that picture? or Did I bring my cooker or hoover with me or is it still at other house?. She doesn't realise I'm our Andrea when she asks but it seems odd that she asks about what she did with me like she has no idea what happened, as if she just left me somewhere, which would be an odd thing to do with a person especially your daughter if it were true. ?
It's a funny thing this dementia
