My mother is in a NH, parkinsons, many strokes and advanced dementia. I visited two days ago and she didn't even realize it was my birthday, but I didn't expect her to and said nothing about it.

She won't even know it's mothers day but she loves animals more than anything and I plan on taking Lucy, my youngest cat who loves people and is afraid of nothing, to visit.

That sounds nice and you are so lucky to have your mom.

Hi Lynne - you are doing well by your mother - bless you.

I sent orchids - mothers fave flower, and a card. I will travel down when I am up to it and see if we can take her to lunch somewhere. Her birthday is 10 days after M's day. I don't think I will call as it will just turn into a b*tch fest about the facility and she probably won't remember being wished a happy day.

Taking her out now requires some coordination, wheel chair, appropriate vehicle and so on. I will rely on sig other G to help - can't manage all of that on my own. Not easy is it.

Belated Happy Birthday to you! (((((hugs))))
