Mom doesn't know my name

9:00 p.m.
I gave my mom her pills (Remeron and Risperidone) half and hour ago.  We are doing some stretching exercises.  Suddenly mom turns to me and says she can’t remember my name.  She says she wants to die.  She feels bad that she doesn’t remember things.

Mom doesn’t remember how to eat a soft-boiled egg.  I cracked it in half for her and gave her a spoon, but she tried to peel it.  I showed her how to use the spoon to scoop the egg out.

Mom’s forgotten how to wash the dishes.  She forgets which dishes she’s washed and which she has to rinse.

She forgets which dishes she’s washed and which dishes are washed  dried and ready to be put away.

This morning at breakfast she told me she knows she has memory problems.  She “knows” it’s not Alzheimer’s because she is aware she has memory problems.

Doing some cleaning in my enclosed balcony.  Moved some plants.  Discovered water spilled on some boxes.  I had asked mom to water some plants yesterday.

I was taking a walk with mom outside in the evening around 7:00 p.m.
Suddenly mom said that she knew I was a relative and asked if I could possibly be her sister.  I told her that I was her daughter and she laughed.
