One Day in the Life of a Wolf - Memorial 7-25-20

I came back home after dropping off the Conservatorship forms and found mom in a tizzy. Oh joy, the old days are back too. She "knows" I filed for Conservatorship and was enraged about it.

I was accused of trying to steal her house, steal all her savings, taking away her liberty and mom said I was the one who put her into the nursing home and said I was the one who wouldn't let her come home. Sheesh.

I didn't argue back as it wouldn't have accomplished anything. I just remained calm and tried to gently answer her questions.

Horses have it better than people. When a horse is in misery, they shoot it. Damn lucky horses.

I too have an aging mother with Alzheimer's. Today she is institutionalized, but when she lived by herself, she was always accusing everyone of "stealing" her stuff. It is a common Alzheimer's delusion.

Be prepared for other delusions too. My mother is on anti-psychotic drugs to keep her reasonably sane and collected. They can also get very abusive both verbally and phsically if not medicated properly. You have my sympathies.

My biological grandmother suffers from dementia, and my friend's grandmother is on the memory unit of her nursing home. Both of those crazy old bats think people are stealing their stuff. My friend's G-mom insists that the woman in the room next door keeps taking her pictures down and stealing random things... The woman in the next room is bedridden with an oxygen tank. She can hardly move her fingers let alone find the energy to hop out of bed, run over to the next room remove the picture from the wall, pull out the screw, spackle the hole and paint it, then run her happy ass back to her bed and hide the picture... If I ever become like this, will someone just please shoot me? Good luck, Wolfie!!!

If my mother were still alive she would be 97, I feel for you my friend, its hard to go through this, I know, I lost my mom 35 years ago. You keep asking yourself have I done everything I can and the answer is you have most likely done more.

I am certain that my sister flies down overnight from Idaho to move my stuff around the room to confuse me. Really, she probably has nothing else to do. :-\
