Thanks Bonny. I saw her today and her current medication is having some very bad mental side effects, much like a very bad acid trip, which I'm going
to have to complain about to her specialist tomorrow.

Oh your poor mother! I hope the specialist can do something about that!
There's 3 polar bears in that pic, Kirk, a mum and two cubs in the enclosure. The enclosure next to it has two other polar bears.

I guess the one Polar Bear in back is playing with a rock then. Whoopsy! My bad,......darn Polar Bear rocks!
It's gotta be tough Poly. I was the last one that my Pop recognized before a heart attack killed him six months onto a "home". Dementia and
Alzheimer's are terrible diseases for the kids of the patients/parents to have to witness as their Moms & Dads grow old and feeble way too soon
before they're eye's. Damn shame man. May peace be with you & yours at this hard time bro'.

Thanks Kirk. They've taken her off the medication. The specialist said it may be a progressive disease but major changes in a week just don't happen.
This confirmation of my own opinion is important because the nurse I spoke to at the home seemed to imply that it was due to her illness. Various
other comments have showed me that they don't pay very close attention to any one resident in that place, which is bit of a worry. It's called care
...
Anyway, my Mum is 86, so at least she didn't get it when she was younger, but it's still breaking my heart seeing her like this. I'm fairly sure this
latest thing is due to the medication, so we'll see over the next week if she improves.

Each case is different and your moms sounds like the meds were the cause this time. As I remember she was diagnosed as having the beginning stages of
Alzhiemers/Dementia just a few months back, am I right about that? Pops started to go at 85 and passed when he was 87, still remembering me. I was
really thankful for that. It's those little things that make our dads and moms unique to us.
I'm sorry your going through such troubling times Poly.

Question (as well as my sympathy) - is she taking different kinds of medication? Just asking, as my Dad was convinced two months ago that he was about
to die and was in a very poor way. They took him off a few of his meds (he has Parkinson's and was on about 28 different types of pill) and hey presto
- he's back to mowing lawn again. The problem was compounded (I think) by having more than one doctor prescribing the meds.
Anyway, I sincerely hope she feels a bit better soon...

Thanks Caputh. It's only one type of medication, the other stuff she has been taking for a while is just for her blood pressure. The specialist was
purposefully not dealing with her other symptoms, the primary one being depression, because she didn't want the attribution of the outcomes to be
confused. Now that my Mum's been taken off the Alzheimer's meds I'm going to insist that they deal with the depression symptoms as soon as possible.

Saw my Mum last night and there is a noticeable improvement. Now I have to get onto hassling her specialist.

Aw that's great!
Last Sunday DED and I went to the comic book museum in Groningen.
The Martini tower.
Yesterday I went to the second-hand shop again. One unusual thing they were selling was an actual tombstone, that had the name of Kees de
Jong (and the dates) inscribed, for 125 euros.
As I wanted to go home, I found my front tire had gone completely flat, so I got to drag it home, took two hours.

Interesting picture but why the big focus on the lights in the foreground obscuring the tower?

The lantern is very nice, too, and this makes for a more interesting photo than just the tower.

I still love it! It's a dangerous manouvre though: used to try it myself but it would hurt my knee.

So that's what restless leg syndrome looks like! Ha, ha! I here tonic water with quinine helps that condition.
