My heart is so heavy. My spirit is so sad.
Mom and I went for lunch at the assisted living residence where I hope she will be moving.
She clammed up, would hardly talk to anyone, and had nothing nice to say about anything. I could tell by the smoke coming from her ears that she was very angry at me for bringing her there.
Tonight, I heard from one of her friends that Mom does not want to go live with "those drooly people." Her friend gave her a reprimand, to be more compassionate. I was surprised at Mom's observation, as I saw no "drooly people", just a bunch of ladies having lunch with their friends and family.
What awaits me when I go see Mom tomorrow?
Will she yell at me or will she stay in stony silence?
I am so tired.

Marirose,
So sad to read this--for you and your mom.
I wonder if I am droopy sometimes. When I have been depressed about my husband's ALZ he notices and cheers me up. I am challenged to really connect with him when I can.
Being an ALZ caregiver is so hard.
Hugs,
Carol
Mariarose,
