Dementia Sort of Things

There are many things that we take for granted.  With a sound mind we know how to do many things.   When your brain breaks down you do not always do those things.  Here are a few things we will always remember:


Brownies- Mom made brownies for dinner.   She was unsure if they were done, but kept cooking them.  So, when she took them out they were burnt real burnt.  Instead of tossing them she put carmel on them to disguise the taste.

Disney World -We had planned a Thanksgiving trip in November of 2022.  Mom was going to rent her condo and we would all meet there. That was great...until   Mom did not pay.  No Money=No Condo=No Trip.

Salty Burgers- It was burger night. Mom bought the burgers.   She went to season them.  There was SALT and more SALT.   When asked about the salt, she continued salting.

Driving-we drive cRaZy... but we passed the drivers test.

Spaghetti Night- It was spaghetti night.   The sauce looked a little darker than normal.   When asked she said it was RIGHT. The sauce was from Aldi.   As we sat down to eat nothing tasted Right.. Well.. it was Sloppy Joe Sauce.  Garlic Bread Sandwiches for all.

Salad Bowls  Mom LOVES bagged lettuce when we eat with her.   So one night she ate salads for dinner at her house.  She set five bowls out. When we reminded her there was six... she said "No Salad for..."  Who wants not to eat?

3:45 Meeting-Mom had forgotten how to do several things.  I was helping her with her insurance cards.  I asked her to meet me at home and we can figure it out.   The office calls down to my office and says a parent is here.  It was MOM ..my Mom.  SUPRISE!!
