It’s so hard to say without equivocation how my mother is doing. In one respect she is doing fine – she isn’t in pain, she can get around with help, she can be amused and is loving to her family and friends.
On the other hand her memory is so erratic you can’t really have a conversation – just go with her flow. And she can’t be left alone at all even for one minute. She has fallen a few times recently (nothing broke, thankfully) and if you turn your back you can find her out the door or rifling through drawers looking for she doesn’t know what, or maybe calling Saudi Arabia.
