I have no control over weather, I refuse to let weather ruin my day.

Mom fell last night. Took her to emergency today to make sure she didn't break nuthin or get a concussion. Just bruised and a bloody knot on the back of her head. I figured she was okay because she was actually more cognizant than usual and alert and talkative instead of confused and sleepy.

My brother and his wife tried to get all involved and came to visit several times over the past 24 hours and stayed longer than the 10 or 15 munites they usually do once a month. Because Mom was enjoying the extra attention and on pain killers was very talkative. They noticed she talked about things that "didn't happen and people she knew visiting that are now dead" and were all concerned. Told them, "Welcome to the care of an elderly dementia patient."

It was kinda funny because Mom kept talking about being taken somewhere earler in the day by her dead sister or my sister that is in MO AND being left somewhere or sitting in the car by herself. My brother's wife takes her to get her hair done every week and always takes way longer than it should either leaving Mom waiting at the booty shop or sitting in the car while she runs errands on the way home. Somehow takes SIL an hour longer than when I take Mom. SIL did not make the connection that Mom was actually complaining about SIL leaving her sitting by herself in the car for over an hour last Wednesday.
