My day started off rough, but got better. I picked up Mom for her doctor appt. and we were about 15 minutes late. Turns out that was fine because the doctor was about 15 minutes late.
The whole ride there and the whole wait in the waiting room Mom was lamenting about being angry at some one. She could not remember who or what or why. She just remembered the anger. Well it was the day before when the occupational therapist came to work with her and they woke her up. I saw her shortly after that with the physical therapist and she was calmer, but not having anything to do with those appts. Today she felt bad because she kept saying that isn't her. I just told her (many times) that the therapist did not take it personally.
Mom's doctor appointment was basically a formality for medicare. Is she depressed, is she a drunk, has she fallen, etc? And the doctor basically was just going by rote. I knew that when she said that social connections can help ward off getting dementia. At least that appt. is over and Mom is fine as far as it goes.
Then we went out for lunch. We almost always do lunch after a doctor appt.
