Visited my mom for only the second time, first time since she got moved into the hospice. She has definitely gotten better and responsive to other people, but with the jabberwocky, she's very hard to understand. She'll start to say something that makes sense, but then it'll end in nonsense syllables, and there's usually a key word that we're missing, so there's nothing we can do. For all we know, she could be saying, "change my will so that none of you get anything, you filthy wretches, and convert it all into benjamins and burn them all and throw the ashes into the sea", but all we hear is "meh bah bah glue drin..." etc. And I think it works both ways, I don't think she's understanding us entirely either, but I don't know. She never looks confused. Just disappointed.
She calls us by the wrong names. I think that's telling. She's got some wires crossed, but I don't think there's a one-to-one mapping, so it's irreversible.
We try to say, crazy 8 ball stuff that's positive, like "I know" and "okay" and "we'll take care of it" and "don't worry about it", even though we have no idea what we're agreeing to.
I am told that she's plateaued, and she's been like this for several days.
Yargh. My sisters are getting the worst of it, so I am thankful that they're on top of things.
We've started cleaning out her apartment.
On the bright side, I got my K1000's back. woot.
