About Me (In My Own Words)
Hello everyone, I'm Lisa and I'm writing this journal for about my Mother Phyllis. In Nov. 2009 my mother(64 yrs old & diabetic but very active)had her aortic valve repaired. The surgery was successful and Doctors were surprised at how fast my mom began to wake-up post operation. Her first day fully awake she was eating and talking but her demeanor was changed. She kept repating herself using a line from a song she liked to answer most of the questions. Ex: I would say Mom,how are you feeling? her reply: I’m fine “I got the Midas Touch” It’s now 2011 and my Mom still has memory loss, she repeats herself, her sentences are often jumbled, gets easliy agitated and she tends to stare into the distance for several minutes likes she’s frozen, until you call her name. This can occur anytime and IT TOTALLY SCARES ME. My Moms says she’d like to go back to work (part-time)but she’s not confindent due to the symptoms I’ve described. What can I do to help her? I want my vibrant,intelligent,funny & creative mom to get past struggling with these issues and get as close as possible to the woman she once was. Any suggestions
