I managed to get nothing done again last night. For some stupid reason, I was dizzy all day yesterday and ended up pretty much just eating dinner and going to bed. I feel better today though. Maybe it was just the weather or something.
OH the Aricept adventure continues. Last night, I awoke in the middle of the night to my mother wrestling with Billie and then heard Billie fall on the floor and my mother was on her feet and saying, "I'm not sure where to go". Well, after the back porch incident a couple of weeks ago, I have learned to answer those questions... even in the middle of the night. So, I said "You don't need to go anywhere, just sit down. It is not time to get up." She sat down, pulled Billie back up on her lap and they went back to sleep. I guess people who told me that Aricept causes vivid dreams were right. At least they don't seem to be scary dreams for her. It is almost kind of sad because she seems so clear in her dreams. It is like she is more clear in the middle of the night than any other time during the day. Maybe that means it is helping though! If it is clearing her subconscious, hopefully, it will eventually do the same for her conscious memory?!?
