She was awake but drowsy and dozed off a few times. I asked her if she had her surgery to have the peg tube reinserted. She said she had refused it. I asked why. She said she didn't want it (at the time) but now she doesn't care. She did say that she does not want to eat. I didn't get a clear answer as to why not but my guess would be because of what they are serving her.
I guess she could be described as alert. Our conversations never really went anywhere. Most of the time she wouldn't respond. She was very distracted by the nature show (no sound) that was on the TV. She was able to tell me that she hadn't had any visitors today. When I asked if she knew where she was she said Greenmount. Maybe she meant Greene Street? Not sure about that. I asked her if she remembered my ceramic jar that we used to put our wishes in. She said no. I told her I was emptying it out recently and I found one of her wishes: "to have enough money to finish the garage". She was amazed by that. "Really????" I told her to think of a new wish for me to put in there for her. She couldn't think of anything or maybe she just couldn't express it.
She could wiggle her legs a little and was pawing at her nose with her right hand like she always does. She asked me to prop her up and her left shoulder was not hurting.
I asked her if she wanted her hair cut short like she used to have it. She said no, she wants to grow it out.
She is looking forward to a visit from Andy.
My mom said she visited Saturday morning and that she seemed to be doing fairly well. She recognized her and was able to talk some, more than the last time I saw her. She did start dozing off though and my mom sat and read for a while then let her be.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that I have found Alison as I've been out of touch since July when she was talking about needing another surgery. I've gone by the house and sent notes and was quite concerned.
ReplyDeleteWe met in 2006 when she tried to sit our dog with an attitude. She was wonderful in trying to engage our Zelda as possessed attitude and she would not want someone comings into her space and telling her what to do.
She worked incredibly hard to engage our dog.
She enjoyed her brief stint with Pets on Wheels.
I'll try to find a good time to visit with her.
