A day in the life with an alhzimers grandmother....
Today was an awful day for Grandmother. Today she wasn`t in her right mind.She was in a fighting mode today. Hurts to see her this way. I just take it with a grain of salt and go on,Sometimes i fuss back with her as we usually do. Sometimes she even hits on me. Knowing she`s not in her right mind anymore most days it`s sorta hard to tell when she is in her right mind. But, being with her everyday for 5 years or better, you just know.Today i made her walk through the kitchen and then to the bathroom. With every step she was fussing at me. She dosen`t like to do things i suggest for her to do to try to better herself or to make herself a wee bit stronger to where lifting may be easier for us.She won`t hear of it. she has to fight me all the time. Somedays it just gets to be old,the whole situation of her and us taking care of her for so long.Somedays,much like today, i feel like my job title is so fake, *caregiver* my care in the giving has left me long, long ago.
