Another week gone by. Another trail of memory traps. My sister has been having some problems with this, mainly because her kids keep bugging her about the problems Mom is having. She feels the burden of not knowing what to do.
Mom said her headaches have subsided by the end of the week. It appears Exelon side effects are manageable for her. Is it helping? My sister and I both don't know what it's supposed to do for her. I know there is no cure, but reduction in memory lapses would be nice.
I called her the other day and she was trying to make chocolate chip cookies. Great! But she couldn't get the oven to work. It's brand new but she doesn't cook anymore. So she read me the manual over the phone and was able to get it started. The timer was another issue, but I think things worked out. I never called back to find out.
My sister called me tonite to say Mom had several lapses in memory about events that happened throughout the week; just a few days ago. I know. This is Alzheimer's.
