We are off to see Zoe's mom, Gerry, this afternoon. (She has Alzheimer's and is hospitalized.) It's been almost 2 weeks since we visited. Last week Zoe wasn't feeling well and we had to call the trip off at the last minute. When we saw her last Gerry was more coherent and alive. That is a double edged sword. When she is more active she is also more intrusive with the other patients, which is not a good thing. She thinks she is in charge and starts yelling when those around her when they don't respond to her, which, of course, they are incapable of doing. It is good to see her smiling and teasing. Zoe has a post on the visit. It's hard to tell what Gerry thinks of her surroundings in a ward of mental patients. I suppose what she percieves is a moving target. Zoe has a short post that gives some insight to this. It's Mother's Day and we hope to visit my mom on the way back.
