Thank you all so much for the warm welcome.

It is so comforting to "speak" to others who are experiencing this
painful situation.

After two days of "normal" behavior, Mom was very confused today.

I get so sad when she doesn't realize I am her daughter and thinks there
are two others by my name.  

She is so confused about where she is and thinks there is another place
with the same furniture in it.

Oh, if I could only be inside her brain.  It is so difficult to
comprehend what she is feeling.

Again, I thank you for welcoming me and I find this such a comforting
place to come at the end of such a trying day.

Lynn:

Hello!   Yes, it is very difficult.  I read one of your other posts
regarding your Mother.

It's hard.  It doesn't get easier.  I'm very lucky in that my Mother
remembered me until the end.  Her dementia was probably brought on by
ministrokes versus alzheimers.

Just take it one day at a time and consider yourself lucky when your
Mom has a good day, or remembers who you are.  Strange that something
like your Mother remembering you would be a "good day", isn't it.

Take care...

Dear Lynn,

I know it must be very difficult when your own mother has this disease.  

We are at our wits end with my brother-in-law but one just has to be patient.

I have learned a lot from this group so continue to write and be comforted
with writing and receiving moral support.
