No real noticeable difference in Mom - although most of the time she does seem more present in the present. Tonight she asked me to cut her nails and told me that she would file them from now on and wrote it on the calender to remind herself. this is a big difference. In the past she will ask me to cut her nails and be really pitiful about it and if I suggest that she should file them every few days she will agree but not with any confidence. Much more confidence this time around. So I guess that is a difference.
She is still getting around well - sometimes forgets to take the cane with her which is great. She does not want to use it as a crutch that she doesn't need to be cut.
she is eating well and when I am not here for lunch then she will make herself chicken nuggets in the toaster oven - setting the temperature herself. I love that small self sufficiency and she seems to enjoy that she can eat what she likes when I am not here.
Another difference - more and more she is choosing to watch movies instead of a steady diet of Matlock and Murder She Wrote - and sometimes she used to watch the same episode over and over and over usually without even realizing it.
I am thinking that Mom's hair looks a little thicker =- same with mine which would be one awesome plus!!!
zOk - beef and barley soup again tonight - yesterday afternoon I asked her if she wanted me to make a frittata or beef and barley soup. She was very confident in saying beef and barley soup which is also unusual - normally is it - oh whatever you like...
She gets cold around 4pm or so every day - and sometimes so do I. Not quite sure what that means but thought I would mention it.
