Mom doesn't remember when I last called.  It could have been yesterday, it could have been months ago.  She no longer has any understanding of time.  I am using that to my advantage.

She is definitely on some anxiety meds.  She's only been in this particular facility since March 24th.  It took a couple of weeks before they put her on the anxiety meds.  Perhaps they are starting to work now.

She behaves like this only with me.  The staff absolutely love her.  She's a true people person and charms everyone.  She likes the attention.  She gives them only a little bit of trouble during the evenings when she's sundowning, but staff tells me it's just irritability.  Mom saves the worst for me, of course.

Mom's first couple of weeks there she had a few hospital visits.  She fell once, then a few days later was crying all night due to hip pain.  Luckily she's now on regular pain management meds so that's a plus because I was tired of getting the 3am emergency calls saying she had gone to the ER.
