Thanks girls.Knowing that other people are/have going/gone through similar things helps a lot.
I'm trying to be realistic about what I can and can't do, and I know I can't provide the social stimulation that she can get there, and at this point, that's what she needs most.
I mean, I can hold daily bingo games and all, but with me calling, and her playing (and maybe Sarah can play when she's home! Haha), it just won't be the same.
We went through this with my grandfather. It was incredibly frustrating for me(and I'm sure it was for him) when he didn't even recognize me. But you're doing the right thing by her. She's going to a place where there are people trained to take care of your mom.
Very creative guy, I adore him. 
I like The Who a lot better than Zeppelin, and I find Pete Townshend much more interesting.
My grandpa had it, and it was no picnic. 
In the 10 years that I've been dealing with her medical things, I've been very happy and grateful for excellent and timely treatment she's received, including specialists, but this had been insane and incredibly frustrating.
They're my 2nd favorite band. 
And why won't they prescribe her the drugs?
The Who
Waiting since February to see a specialist?
) and they blew me away! Amazing show. She got all teary, even though she'd kill me for saying so. I know Sami was a big fan too, she loved them. But, like I said, in the past 10 years, this is the only bad experience we've had. There must be an insane shortage of that specialty in this area. We even talked to her oncologist about it, and he said that he'd see if he could get her in to see one of his colleagues any sooner, but we haven't heard anything, so I'm assuming not.
Have you ever seen them (the Who)?? I saw them last October (along with Liz/Snowbunny
I know, it's like everyone in FYM, all they say about Canadian health care coming true.
We've talked to various medical people who have told us that most family GPs routinely prescribe meds for Alzheimers/dementia, but apparently hers won't.
Listening to UV from AB now. this tour blows away the studio version and all other live versions. I'm completely and utterly taken with it.
And (this is a shameful confession, worthy of ZC, but I'm too ashamed to even post it there), the studio versions of songs are generally my favourites, over any live versions. But not UV, This. Tour's. Version. Rules. Period.
Even though I had watched youtube videos of the performance, it didn't hold a candle to it live. The lights, the microphone, everything about it was amazing! For me, the only negative to being on the outer rail was not seeing Bono swinging from the microphone. 
I'm worriedabout my sister
She & her hubby have split up and i can't talk to her
She's at a hotel somewhere and isn't answer her phone cos all their friends just keep calling her. Dad has spoken to her today but i need to speak to her myself, just because she tells him she's ok doesn't mean she is. we tell each other everything so it's really hard for me.
She knows where i am and that she can call me 24/7 and i'm respecting that she wants to be alone but it's killing me cos i just want to hug her.
Nope, I've never seen them live, but I'd love to. They're the only band that I feel even a fraction as passionately about as I do U2. Who's Next is in my top 5 favorite albums.
Wow, that's awful that they won't prescribe her the drugs. And yeah, every system has it's flaws. Ugh, I'm sorry you're going through this with her. I really wish I could give you a big hug. But my arms don't stretch that far, so I guess an e-hug will have to do.
On the plus side, we only have another 5 weeks to wait. And the lady we spoke to at the retirement home yesterday said they have lots of people in the early stages of dementia living there, and she said, as we suspected, that people like that tend to improve there, with the routine and increased socialization. We've noticed that ourselves, if it's been a few days between visits or taking her out with us somewhere, she seems worse. She's definitely better the more she's around people.
I never thought I would get to see that song played live, in person, 2 nights in a row!!!! I remember I freaked out when I saw it had been rehearsed in Barcelona.
How are you doing?
Random 360 gripe:they didn't give Electrical Storm a chance! It seems like Your Blue Room is going to be staying for the remainder of the leg, and I'm glad. It's a big risk to take, especially with such an obscure song. Just wish they had done the same in Europe(and here) with Electrical Storm.
Also, dropping Unknown Caller, one of the highlights of the show, is borderline criminal IMO. And if I had been at a show where they cut that and NLOTH like they did in DC, bitches would have been cut.
I've heard for years about people crying at U2 shows, but I never have...if anything, I'm too in awe to cry. And I never had any particular emotional connection to that song before that night, I liked it well enough, but that was it. That night though, it "spoke" to me. 
But she liked the view on the rail. View wasn't obstructed at all for her like it was previous shows. And it was perfect. Believe it or not, it wasn't too packed either. I was expecting a lot more of a crush on the main floor than in the pit. I also disagree with people who say they didn't come across the bridges a lot. I feel they've been on the catwalk far more often this tour than during Vertigo. 
Yeah, it was wrong what he did. But to be blackmailed over it? That's just shitty. 
Tell her there's a drunk clone. 
It is an emotional song. The second verse gets me a lil teary eyed. 
Awwww you didn't tell me that.
I wouldn't call myself a fanof Elton John, but I wouldn't say I dislike him either. Was it you and Bri who wrote Elton John fanfic where he was straight? Or am I totally pulling this out of my ass?
)!! I just hope he or she doesn't pick up Elton's diva tendencies.
