Ok, today was a little weird. Trish checked in on Mom while I was at Missy's orientation, and today was my first day back after not seeing her for 3.
She was in her room...tv still isn't working...and she was reading a book. I haven't seen her reading a book in a LONG time.
'Hi Mom. What are you up to?'
"Well I'm not married, that's for sure. I've been sitting here trying to figure out how to help this man that doesn't speak English very well"
After that it was a little hard to put together what she was trying to tell me. She kept losing her train of thought, and her vocabulary doesn't always hold together. She thought she was 40 today, saying that several times, but the strange part was she kept trying to explain her conversation with this man.
It could have been one of the other residents, or her imagination, who knows. But she was apparently advising him that he needed to get married, and that he needed a license for that, and something about him being mixed up about his room, and staying in hers for 3 days. She figured that out when she noticed stains in the bathroom.
The whole thing was just very weird and I wanted to capture it for some reason.
The one of the nurses came in to help her get dressed for bed. There were no other nurses at the nurses room, and the door was closed. There is usually always someone there, though they were probably making medicine rounds.
