Not for your frustrating situation but because I've been around older people enough before to relate to your situation. They really do revert back to children, don't they? They wear their emotions on their sleeves. I wonder if your mom could write down what she's trying to say. I know the communication problem is a challenge! Hopefully, next week will be better.

LOL Trust me...Owwww, her expression says it all!! LOL Trust me, I have seen that same expression on my own Mom's face from time to time. Communication is key to so many things and when it breaks down there is often chaos, still being able to get out and about and spend time getting her hair done and having lunch out is so much better than many Seniors have it. By next week she will probably have forgotten all the "oopsies" from this week. ;-)Sweet Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614958513434632328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-91915820397449899652014-01-25T08:17:29.228-06:002014-01-25T08:17:29.228-06:00Good for you...Linda!!

She was losing her hearing towards the end and was becoming unsteady on her feet at times but would get angry if I suggested she go to the doctor. My Mom also loved IHOP, and it was one of the last places we took her to eat.<br /><br />It could be you Mom has wax buildup in her ears, and that might even be making her unsteady and dizzy.

What I love about you and your family is that you want to! You care! (BTW, once I took an old box that my computer ink came in to be certain I'd get the right kind. Would you believe that the store charged me twice? Thank goodness I didn't get out of the store before I noticed.)<br /><br />Next Friday will be better! =DVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-37285852881127242572014-01-24T20:36:52.451-06:002014-01-24T20:36:52.451-06:00Oh Linda, how I relate to your Mom.

It's really not to hard, but it does start with a hearing test to determine how bad it is. There are lots of different kinds and several of my elderly friends hate that hearing aids pick up all the background noise. Something I have to live with. <br />I truly laughed out loud at your mom's unhappy expression...priceless!Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941735389982354519noreply@blogger.com
