I remember taking Mum for her first hearing test in April 2016 to see if she had a hearing problem or if her dementia had progressed to affecting her comprehension. She came out over the moon to be told no hearing problem & I came out gutted that it was another symptom. We both needed a drink, she celebrated while I commiserated Lol.
Watching 8 of 10 Cats. Countdown begins but Mum didn’t hear the ‘L’ in ‘Clocks’.
She’s almost laughing harder than she did watching the Minions movie earlier!
Mum said “What’s this on tv?”
I said “”Miss Marple”
Mum said “She’s an arsehole!”
Listening to Prince ‘I would Die For You’ & Mum is singing “Apple Duck For You!”
In the car listening to Dr Hook’s ‘Cover of the Rolling Stone’ & Mum has changed “Get your picture” to “kiss your sister”.
She then said “I had to get your Dad’s help years ago to arrange this song. We had to organise the song so that Alan (her son) could sing it!”
I told Mum we needed to find some Gerbera’s in the shop. Mum said “Gerbils? Aren’t they sweets, sucky sweets?” Haha suck a gerbil!
Talking to Faith about her brother Josh who mum hadn’t yet met. Sharon showed mum a photo & mum said, “He’s very handsome!” Faith said “Yes my brother is handsome” mum said “Your brother’s a greyhound?”
Mum went from the lounge to the kitchen to get me a mini bottle of red wine & peanuts from the cupboard. She came back with peanuts, a giant eraser & a dictaphone!!!
I put some cheesy shapes on a plate for Mum but she heard “Cheesy shits!”
Mum asked me to put her earrings in. I said “Move a bit closer.” She giggled & said “I thought you said take your clothes off!”
I said to Mum “Shall we go get washed & then do breakfast?” Mum said “I’ve been over it twice in my head & I can’t have heard you correctly. I heard ‘Shall we go get washed & then do *uck face but my face isn’t a *ucker!”
