Hi Girlfriends, thanks for the welcome back. I seem to come and go often lately, but I think I'm back here for a while. Yes, we are all touched by Alzheimer's in one way or another. Anno, I did read about your mother in another thread. Dotsie, my mother does not watch TV anymore. I had not thought of her mind rehashing her dreams. I do know that she comes up with a lot that pertains to the past. However, she also tells me horrible things, like, "They put something on a stick in a fire, and then they put the thing into the little child's mouth." I wonder if she mixes up something like a marshmallow on a stick in a camp-fire? It's strange that she does not understand that she has cancer, but she does know where the pain is. Yes, it's best to dwell on the precious moments. xxoo
