I don't think Mom knew who I was during most of our visit today. When I got there she said she was trying to find out where her girls were.
'Which girls, Mom?'
"My 2 daughters... I mean...my youngest, daughter."
'Do you know your daughters names, Mom?'
"I knew you were going to ask me that." She sat there pondering for a minute.
'You mean Paula Mom? She's doing fine.'
"Oh good...because you know she's just a baby."
This went on several times throughout the visit. I walked her back to her room, and we started watching the aviator. She was in good spirits, but almost nothing she said made sense, and she kept asking about her babies.. at times I felt like she saw me as any of the other nurses who take care of her.
I had Salmon and broccoli for dinner tonight.
