Dan and I went over for a quick afternoon visit - lights out, hot as hell in the room, popa sleeping and momu in the bathroom. I told them I wanted to sit outside before their dinner, Momu said she was too tired and started to get back into bed. But as we started to chat, she got up and sat in a chair. She said her shoulder was feeling better and the therapist gave her exercises to do in her room. She was full of repeated stories/facts today. Dan and I are still amazed at how the brain works and that she can say the same thing multiple times w/in a minute and not even know.
Todays stories were about going home, getting a cat, having college students live in the house for income, etc. I then told her she needed 24 hour care and college students are not equipped to do that. She said she would use the room fee and pay for care but I said she needed more than a few hours a day. She just brushed it off. Morale of the story is it does not matter what we say because she retains absolutely nothing in the short term. Long term is another story as she began to explain the plot of the movie 'sleepless in seattle'. Wow.
Still no fix on hearing aids - nobody was around to ask as the nurses were tending to dinner as we left. Will iniquire next time.
