My mother has entered stage six of Alzheimer's, which includes wondering, not recognising people and quite a bit of confusion about the events in her life which in the previous stages she had a better long-term memory. So let's start from the beginning. This is part 1 of Mommy's memories.

Now mommy wants a boyfriend? I think we are entering the next stage of all Alzheimer's .

My mother wandered off in the middle of the day while I was waiting for her to come back from the WC to the balcony. I did not know that she was gone. She had wondered and fell into a shallow pool which actually might have helped break her fall. before and therefore there is in a fracture but a big sprang on her arthritis stricken knee. I blame myself for not doublechecking. It happened a couple of days after New Year and I was catching up with work. She is now not able to go to the bathroom on her own or walk on her own and it has been almost 72 hours since the fall.

I don't cry in front of my mother who has, if you don't know by now, dementia. The reason is because it is more upsetting for her to see me crying. I find it difficult because she seems to get stuck in a loop about why I am crying. Actually sometimes she will just forget once I stop crying, that I was crying . Thanks to the people who are able to call in to my station on the Anchor App, I could not help but cry when I heard their supportive messages. I was prompted to Google "why cry" and found an article about a "tear expert,' who has discovered that the crying also releases toxins that could be immensely detrimental to your health if they are not released, especially the ones caused by stress. So yes, now I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to cry and release the daily stress of my Alzheimer's Lifestyle.

The beginning & end of 5th December. My day started with my mother knocking on my door and asking me about her job and when she was going to work. She spent quite a lot of time going on the balcony today which is a good thing because she needs to get sun and needs to be mobile. She seem to be in her own particular space today. This afternoon I found a piece of writing of mine and I thought it balanced my segment I recorded this morning.I am aware that things could be a lot worse. I am grateful that my mother's symptoms are still manageable. I wish strength to those who are dealing with more severe symptoms of Alzheimer's.
