after so many difficult days... Mom was sleepy, BUT she ate 3 chicken legs & a little fruit...after I touched her (to wake her)! Then she dozed at the table. I touched her to leave and she shook her head. She shook her head to mean....please leave me alone. While she was eating her chicken legs, I wrote, "I love you." She said very softly, "Me too." Then I wrote, "Jesus loves you." She nodded her head. Yesterday, she was anxious..... Today, she was mellow.
Today I read some disturbing info on statins (for cholesterol reduction). I just Googled: Statins & Memory Loss.....WoW - I didn't know! So what if it's a small percentage......who wants to be in that small number? Reminds me of something I heard years ago. What if there was one seat on the airplane that was going to fall out during the flight? Would you still fly on that airplane, even though the percentage was very low of getting assigned to that one seat? Now there are two things that Mom has been on for years that have been known to cause memory loss. Tell that to medical doctors & you'll get shot down quickly! I verified with the nurse working today at the nursing home that Mom is off the cholesterol meds cause a few months ago the dr. asked my permission to discontinue them. The nurse today said that statins can be very bad and advised not to go on them.
