It has been a while since my last post. My Mom is not doing well. She had one day when she threw her plate and then yelled," I want food and I paid for food in this hotel and I want it now." SHe slapped her roomie while she was sleeping. They are checking her for an UTI. I pray that is what it is. If not she has to go through a battery of tests. One of the stages of the disease is for behavioral change. I hate when Mom is mean and they call me. I feel like a MOm who is called to the principal office about their child. I apologize and that is all I can do. You feel so torn, should I be there more to help control her or should I ..... So I pray and give God my hurt, my humilation and look for the good.
On another note, I am involved in a silent auction, and a Inn here is donating a night free for it. I meet with her today and she also has a relative with the disease. It is becoming more and more common to run across someone with it. I feel God has called me to be the voice for those who have no voice. I pray for a world with no Alzheimer.
