This morning wake up time wasn't so pleasant, Mac was completely disoriented, kekpt asking in a strange voice, language papers, where are they..Today my day to go out, so I sort of put those plans on the backburner, and decided to concentrate on helping Mac get the confusion out of his mind, ....
Actually i try to have back up plans as it's supposed to be good for me to
get out..it is i guess, but Mac was so disoriented, didn't
know my name, his name, where we were, who, what etc...confusion reigned
...eventually after much patience and explaining, we got it together. it
seems t be our house, he finds it too big in a way...although it's not
that big- it's basement -main floor downstairs and bedrooms upstairs; he
always thinks there are people living downstairs, and so on. and where are
we, where does the cat go...- one good thing he did get it all in order
before i left, and even was clear as to who Helen was - which is the woman
who comes on Tuesdays...good that he likes her is completely at home with
her...we followed instructions re; Alzheimer's assoc. as to how to get this
kind of trust..and it worked... so he knows her very well. Thankfully i
could leave, when I returned home 5 hours later, he had explained his
confusion to Helen, and all seemed to be well. and so far so good. Good
for him and of course also good for me.
now it's difficult to be online, as I just said o.k. if i'm online, he said, sure of course...5 minutes..always the joker but g'nite must go.
