I wish to hell I'd argued for Mom to stay in home instead of assisted living/ then down the hill/ to full care. Just one more nail in the virtual coffin to the "person formerly known as my sister"
my wife worked in a nursing home all through highschool...she was adamant her parents would not end up in one
i dont know if any of you guys ever read the thread "fun with alzheimers" i posted a while ago
its crazy to see how different things were back then
i was just kinda poking fun at the fact that her mom would forget little things, most notably, that she hadnt made coffee yet that morning
so i would get up, get the kids ready for school, make me a cup of coffee and i would turn around, and she'd made off with my coffee, just not remembering it wasnt hers
things sure have gone downhill since then
the other day she claimed her sister was in the house...to the best of my knowledge, her sister has never set foot in the U.S....took me a while to figure out that that day she was missing some 40 years, and the lady she thought was her sister was actually my wife
(i know most of you wont get this one, but it sure hits the nail on the head)
