here I am again with another question.....you're wonderful for being there to listen and answer and not "guilt" me. I plan to go away next month for a few days,,,,,,,,,do I tell Mom? someone told me not to because sometimes they then get sick or say they're sick so you don't go. I'm afraid that she'll get panicky hearing that I won't be available for 5 days. her short-term memory is so bad but I'll bet she'll remember that I'm going away.and I never know whether to tell her exactly when I'll be back when I go visit her, like "in 2 days" or Friday or whatever...she doesn't like any of my answers and usually doesn't remember what I've said anyway but that's always the last thing she asks when I get ready to leave her. I can't be evasive, like "soon", that doesn't work at all. it's difficult for me to talk to her because she's not the same person that she was, doesn't respond like the same person and yet I'm still trying to have the same conversations that I used to have with her. anyway, thank you for any input you have...
