So, when we left the doctor's office on Tuesday, sister and I were confused at what was happening and how quickly mom was responding and ready to leave...so of course we had some questions for the doctor that we just did not think to ask in the moment. Sister was able to talk to him today and here is the first rule of the game:
Rule #1 She is never wrong.. we will have to bite our tongues.
I dont like lying. I'm learning how to be honest, but now...when mom is having an episode...refer to rule #1...she is never wrong and I have to bite my tongue and go along with it.
So...I have this thing w/pride...and I really really like to be right. So...I guess I'm going to have to learn how to go along w/stuff I dont always want to go along with. Basically...we will have to treat her like a 3 year old while acknowledging she is an adult. That is going to be so hard. So....it looks like I will have a lot of pride checks in my future...we'll see how that goes.
