So far so good! Mom seems to really like her new apartment. As is typical with Alzheimer's Disease (AD), confusion and memory disruption are exacerbated by the changes in routine. Between the hospitalization and the move, the changes have definitely left her more confused than usual. Hopefully things will settle back down once she gets used to a new routine. She looks much better and is apparently eating more.
She would certainly enjoy calls or visits. Remember, she is not reliable. If you'd like to visit it might be best to touch base with with one of us to make sure she'll be home. If you tell her something that you'd like her to share with us, the chances are she won't recall it at all. She will not likely recall a visit either. We're hoping that some of her memory problems will improve a little after a few weeks but there's no way of knowing.
The best we're hoping for now is that she is comfortable and content. We think she is in a great place to allow that to be.
Tomorrow is the PET scan which will have her out all morning at Holy Redeemer. While we're there, I'm hoping to get her upstairs to say hello to some of her friends in the OR.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
