We went to see her yesterday. I didn't go in because I could barely walk (so hip and knees) and it's quite a distance to her room.

Greg bought her a nice orchid corsage. It looked like no one else gave her anything.

She has good days when she will talk up a storm and bad ones when she is very quiet. Our big concern is that tries to get out of her wheel chair and bed unassisted. THat's not good.

No, it isn't good, and they all think they can get out and about by themselves.

I totally understand your worry.

When mom first moved down here she was able to carry on a fairly good conversation, but after the strokes last fall, she just sits and joins in occasionally. She has no short term memory, so she has a hard time getting more than a sentence or two out before she forgets what she’s talking about.
