Psychiatrist visit

Monday, March 2nd, 2015
Luckily we didn't have to wait too long to see the psychiatrist.  He was only about 15 minutes behind.  Mom was in a good mood.  The psychiatrist was impressed with mom's ability to communicate with him.  Mom smiled and expressed herself quite well.
She still mentions intruders who touch her things but she doesn't seem to be overly upset about it.
She's eating more.
Although she helps prepare meals, she thinks she can prepare meals by herself.
I mentioned that her nose runs and she seems kind of stiff.
The psychiatrist was interested in the stiffness.
He wanted to check her balance so he asked her to walk down the hall, which she did very quickly.  We had to call her back.  I told her to run and she did.
I think her medication is being changed.

 The psychiatrist asked my mom some questions.  I don't think my mom is the most reliable witness.  They don't seem to be interested in what I have to say.
Basically, she is content and they just want to keep her where she is.  She will get her risperidone reduced and her Aricept increased.  She didn't mention anything about intruders until we got back to her place.
