Lately, we've been getting the newspapers for my mom to read while she is with us. Today, she became frantic when I went to collect the old ones and put them in the recycling bin. My daughter, who is autistic; can not understand her grandmother's irrational behavior; therefore it irrupted into a shouting match about the newspapers when she went to collect them. Now she is taking the papers we bought her today to read and stuffing them in between the pages of a magazine as if she is hiding them from us. She is now becoming a hoarder on top of everything else.
like what are you talking about and then started reading underneath a picture on the front page. Couldn't understand a thing she was saying. I just don't understand how she can do that for such a long period of time! Wears me out!!
Mom has hearing aids, but she doesn't comprehend what we are saying or pay any attention, so that makes them NOT work. Mom does wear her hearing aids, but they do NO good whatsoever. Madeaa, I have no idea how much longer I am going to be able to do this for. Mom had pneumonia back in January and hasn't been back to her doctor since. He told me he had done all he could do for her at her age and with her ailments. Well, guess who is going to the doctor for high blood pressure and blood pressure medicine now, me! I have an appointment on Monday to be rechecked to see if the medicine is working, and she doesn't even have to go to the doctor. Seems like there is something wrong with this picture!!
Thanks to all for telling their daily rituals so I know that I am not alone. Take care all and please let me know of any solutions that you may have.
