Last Friday, mom's home health aide started. And she is absolutely wonderful. With years of experience, one speed - (Fast!), a strong worth ethic, a belly laugh, patience and full of love. And tiny! But what she lacks in size she has in a great attitude! I love her and mom loves her. She calls her "that girl!" She is wonderful at redirecting mom - which is so important with Alzheimer's Disease.
Yesterday she (won't give her name without her permission) gave mom a manicure and did her hair. Mom met me at my car - so proud of her nails and hair. (she still wants to feel like a girl!)
With her home health care comes ADT - which normally would be a good thing. But mom didn't like having an installer in the house and she doesn't like having that box in the house. We were testing it last night - and she told the operator on the other end - "Don't expect me to pay for this ugly thing!"
In this transition of health care, insurance, etc...her main medicine is not getting approved. Doctor gave us some samples - same medicine - but it looks different from her normal medicine. And this is how funny her mind works. She forgets who I am sometimes but she knew the medicine was different looking - wasn't going to take it - took some convincing. She just fussed, then gagged when she swallowed the pill. Ha ha.
