Oh Mother

As previously mentioned Mother loves pulling at her eyebrow hairs and other facial hair but we figured out if we tell her specifically to stop playing with her eyebrows she will immediately respond with "Shut up, bitch." Who would have ever thought that hearing my Mother say those three little words could make me smile so much. She usually giggles afterwards or gives us the finger so it just makes it even better.

The past few weeks flew by but also seem like they've brought a lot of changes. Mother continues to become more and more agitated which is sometimes tough but with a good dose of Ativan life is good for both her and us. Warning: Waking up a sedated person leads to very weird conversations and events. Normally if Mother is 'resting her eyes' on the couch we try not to bother her because it's just better that way. Whenever we do wake her she will open her eyes (barely) and yell something funny. Usually, she will say something along the shut up, bitch lines, "be quiet!", or the ever so popular "where are we going?" The other night I was trying to get her to go to her bed and was walking her up when she followed the kitten into the kitchen and started commanding the cat to do things...to get me!

I was able to write down exactly what she said, " Get her, bitch. She's a bad bitch. These people are following me. I'm dying. I'm not coming back here." I just kind of distracted her and led her up to bed where I had to coax her to lay into the bed and to stop looking out the window at those people.
