I am very relieved that she is happy the majority of the time and engaged with others and recognizes me even in the wrong context. I know that one day I will walk in there and she won't have a clue who I am.A Day in the Life on the Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878132360387905867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923453219156240289.post-24500693230415982642014-07-10T08:57:04.777-04:002014-07-10T08:57:04.777-04:00Yes, her adjustment is a blessing ... For you! It...Yes, her adjustment is a blessing ... For you! It helps you with the feelings you were dealing with right before you moved her from your home.<br /><br />Not remembering is a blessing for her as well. My mom still asks when she is "going home". I am not sure where "home" is for her now, as she also asks when her mom and dad are coming for a visit. That always makes me so sad. Which is the kinder response ... Your parents have died or they will never be coming for a visit. Sometimes I just change the subject. Sometimes I just say, hey, mom, you are my mother (as she may think I am her sister.). <br /><br />So look at the silver lining. Your mom isn't sad. She is engaged in her surroundings with no disappointments. And she still knows you. Those things will be gone someday as well.

I haven't gotten the nanny cam yet, it slipped my mind when Mom adjusted so quickly. The only time that it would have come in handy was when Mom's and 3 other resident's glasses were missing. The aides had to search everyone's rooms to find the glasses thief LOL.

I was going through the box of pictures with mom on Monday and for the first time she didn't recognize my Daddy. She doesn't remember his name always, but their engagement picture always jogged her memory. No longer. I tried again Tuesday and today. So sad... I am so happy you got such an awesome AD!
