I don't know how to make this short. I am new to this board. Mama was ok on Monday and Tuesday morn when I got her up she did not know me & kept asking for the other "girl". She's been living with me since Dec. It has been difficult, but no major problems. She has had a couple of memory lapses, one severe, but she came out of it after a hospital stay. They added Namenda to her meds, she already takes Aricept. Yesterday she seemed much better, but today she has started with the "other" girl stuff again. She is talking some pretty bizarre stuff. Does it happen that quick? I just thought it would be a gradual thing. We has a big bathroom accident this morning at 5:30, she was trying to clean it up herself.... Tonight, as I was giving her her meds, I noticed the bed was wet, then I asked her if her pull ups were wet & she looked at me and said, Oh, yes. Nightgown, robe and sheets all wet. This has not happened before. She appears not to like me very much, so I am assuming she thinks I'm the girl who is not her daughter. I am freaking out. I am an only child, married, and my husband and I have not exactly had an easy time adjusting to this. We are both only children, and his Mom died last year. All Mama's sisters and a brother are having lots of problems of thier own, so no help there. I did get her into a program here that pays for Day Care, but she hates to go and it is a battle every time. She is a heavy smoker (60 years, and don't EVEN go there about quitting), and all she wants to do is sit and smoke. She also has macular degeneration, no hobbies and no interests. She does not participate in anything. I have not thought about any kind of support group until Tuesday night, when I found you. Anything you can tell me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
