Ok, sorry, but the visit today with Mom and Dad wasn't good. Bruce and I drove down about a quarter after 4. I know that's not the best of times, but by the time we left, it was near suppertime. We left a little after 5. Dad looked good. He was SO confused today though. He asked me if that was Pam or Judy---talking about Mom in the bed! They were cleaning Mom up, and she was fussing. Dad looked at me and said Judy doesn't want to go to the hospital! I'm like, ok, this is TOO weird. The one girl asked Dad who I was: he said 'the neighbor'! LOL! She goes: no, that's your daughter. To which Dad replies: that's the neighbor--I know my daughters! Guess that pretty much sets me up as the neighbor! Dad kept talking about going to night court and leaving at 12, etc---nothing he said really made good se: se. Mom, on the other hand, was pitiful. She was in bed and seemed SO tired. Even when they got her up, she just couldn't seem to keep her eyes open or focused. She said something about home, and her things and asked really loud: where's Marie, has anyone seem Marie! She asked about Jeanie---I don't know if she meant me or Jeanne Louise. She kept saying: Ok, bye, bye. She just seemed so tired and so frail and so old. I know, 90 IS old, but you know what I mean! I'm sorry for the bad posts lately, but I figure that you want the truth. Mom is not confined to their room. I said something about a haircut, and they said they didn't know why not. The girl was going to make a note about it. We'll see. Maybe that will help. Her hair is long--not like she wore it. I also took some different razors down for Dad. The girl asked for some because Dad complained about the others 'pulling'. If this doesn't help, I'll go buy an electric one for him. I don't know what to tell you all. I will try to go see Mom early the next time. Lunch wasn't good Tues, and 4:15 wasn't good today. I'm really concerned about Mom. I guess I'm worried she's either giving up or really slipping away into the disease. Hopefully, when Pat goes tomorrow she'll have a better report than me! This neighbor seems to bring out the worst in them! LOL! Love you all, Jeanie
