FALL

Mom fell tonight. She had really bad pain today. It was under her shoulder blades, she was in such pain. Said if someone didn't find out what was wrong she was going to go crazy. I can see that. SO I gave her 2 pain meds, I know better, but she needed a break for just a little while.

Then she got up and was walking to the kitchen and just lost her balance. Fell against the lamp and broke it. Mom couldn't turn the lamp on and off because it was too tall. So we do not miss the lamp, but the busted lamp was everywhere.

THEN I was fixing super and opened the microwave. She had tried to cook an egg. It exploded everywhere. I asked her if she had any egg left. She said pieces. Got that cleaned up and the lamp that she broke.

25 Awesome Keyboard Shortcuts

This is a list of the most useful default Photoshop keyboard shortcuts that you can use them to speed up your workflow. Some of them are rarely mentioned, some are more common and some are only available in Photoshop CS5. I hope everyone will find some new and useful shortcuts in this article. So let"s get started!
1. Drag-Zoom
Command/Ctrl + Space + Click and Drag Left or Right. Fastest way to zoom in and out with one keyboard shortcut (only in CS5 and only with GPU enabled).
2. HUD Color Picker

3. Bird’s Eye View

4. Brush Size & Hardness
Ctrl + Alt + Right Click (Win) or Control + Option + Click (Mac). Drag your mouse to right/left to change the size and up/down to change the hardness. It only works with CS5 in both directions.

Reading

While in church today, J Fluman was talking to mom about what class was she in. Mom told her that she started to school at Glenwood, and that her mom made her read all the time, so they moved her up a grade in school.

She said that she was asked to read in class and that her sister "Ernestine" said "Jodean just kept reading and wouldn't shut up"

DATE

She has no idea what date it is.
She was paying her bills and she wrote the 27th date on her check.

She kept asking what day it was.

She was going to take a shower, but didn't want to get up. As she was sitting there she asked me if I had changed the battery in the clock on the wall. I told her that I had when we first moved in. She said that it is losing time. I checked the time and it was 7:29 pm exactly what the clock says. She said that when she gets up in the morning it is 6 on the clock and it is really 8. So I asked her how it got back to the correct time. She said "I was just wondering that myself."

I have seen great confusion in her and it seems to be getting worse.

Confusion

I called mom and told her to get ready to go to Bingo, I was running late, but should be there in plenty of time for Bingo.

Mom said no Bingo was last night. I told her to get ready I would be there in a little bit.

When I got there she refused to believe that it was Bingo night. She knew it was Friday and she would go and get her hair done in the morning. Saturday morning.

I got her dressed and we went down to Bingo.

She has so lost a day.

looking for eye drops

Her eye was hurting.

She went to bed and I heard her complaining. I went to her bed room and she couldn't get in bed. The maid had made the bed and she couldn't get the covers pulled down. She complained about the bed being to high.

So I helped and got her tucked in. Went back to work and she was up again looking for eye drops for her eyes. She said she had some cream that the eye doctor had given her. It was up there in the cupboard. I looked and didn't find anything.

She was totally confused.

Red Eye

Mom has had a red eye
She called her eye dr and made an appointment for Tuesday at 11

The Next Morning:
Mom was late getting up she was at table taking her pills , I had her jacket and started to put it on her she said she needed to brush her teeth. That if she was going to dentist she should brush her teeth. I said "Mom your going to the eye Dr" then she said that she didn't need to brush her teeth!

Eye Doctor told her she had a sty on her eye.
We went to get drop medication at the pharmacy. Azasite 1%,, 5 ml for $66. 2 little drop bottles that need to be kept in the refrigerator, they were in regular pill bottles that the pharmacy puts all meds in. I showed mom where I was putting them.

When we got home, I put a drop in her eye. I then left to go to OKC. Wednesday she didn't say anything about her eyes.

When I called Thursday morning, she couldn't find her drops. She said she used them all and they were in the trash and she was using the other drops that the eye doctor had given her. The eye doctor had not given her any other drops. We had bought some over the counter drops, so I guess that what she was using.

So I first called the pharmacy and he told me that there should be 15 drops in each bottle. It had only been 1 1/2 days since I left.

Next I called the home health where she lives and told them mom's story. So she went up to mom's room and went to the refrigerator and found the drops.

When I got back to mom's, she said she needed to put a drop in her eye. So I got out her drops, she tried to put them in and said that the bottle was empty. I took the bottle and put drops in her eyes. Yes it was a little hard to squeeze the bottle and mom doesn't have much strength.

THE CONFUSION SETS IN........
