Bad Night and Morning. Alzheimer's is a fucking nasty disease ( I warned ya). Annie had two episodes(emotional breaks) because of her inability to recognize time anymore. It makes me so angry that this disease is stealing my mother from me a little piece at a time. My mom is a smart, funny, logical and talented woman who is being devoured by this disease. The disease sometimes turns into a nasty selfish bitchy litle 13 year old girl, who wants her way NOW! You know the creature Golum?(sp) from Lord of the Rings? Split personality seems to be what is breaking down at this point. Alzheimer's can't decide which creature will manifest itself, Golum or Smiegel. (sorry if spelling is incorrect) She wants to go see her parents and can't seem to understand we can't go right now because we have to take Whit, my son, to kindergarten. Or that my grandparent's house is not just up the road. She can't comprehend that it is over 700 miles from where we are living. She gets angry and then can't really make any coherent sounds and goes and cries, saying "Fine, I'll just go to bed." Then five minutes later will come out of her room to show me something pretty outside and she giggles, thus the 13 year old. Bizarre disease.
Note: Alzheimer's is the 13 year old, so don't get bent if you think I am calling her these names, Alzheimer's is the nasty girl, not my mom. I differentiate between the disease(which is a MoFo) and the sufferer.
