Update #3

today was a good day.

Grandma was sitting in a chair in her room when we got there tonight, and was finishing her dinner. It's all puree and she can't have regular liquid, it's a thicker (they call it honey consistency) liquid substance. It looks gross, but she says it's okay. Whatever lol, even the WATER is thicker. it's just WEIRD. Space age creepy.

Anyway, she knew who we both were. She was way more aware of what was going on. She told us what her goal was (which is to be home by the motorhome club Christmas party) but she said she's gonna be home before then because she has to clean house. *facepalm*

She is already walking - successfully - with a walker... but not for any real distance, as it tires her out quickly. But she's progressing pretty quickly.

All in all a great visit, she is having trouble with numbers/dates. She's fixated on her goal date and on her anniversary (which is tomorrow). but as far as knowing when I was born or how long she's been in Alaska (this is based on stories she was telling tonight) she's way off. But, hey, if that's the worst of it, then she's pretty dang good... (she's ALWAYS had trouble remembering my birthdate. Go figure lol)
