Today Mom was pretty stressed. I had to leave for the day for a commitment I had and Dale and Mike and his brother started the process of changing our bathroom from a closet tub to a walk-in shower. Dale sent me a text mom called me three times he said everything is fine but she hasn’t sat down for quite a while she’s been walking around the house agitated. That is due to the change of people and the amount of chaos going on. The bedroom is full of bathroom items since we had to empty the bathroom out.

Dale was gone for all of 5 minutes, and she went upstairs. He followed her she went to the bathroom and was in the bedroom straightening up. There’s a couch up there because we did some rearranging. In the evening I realized she had brought another one of Grandma’s quilts down and put it in her bedroom. She was worried we were going to get rid of items in the house.

The bathroom he’s being totally changed. By 3:00 in the afternoon she put this freaky smile on her face and was walking around. I asked if she was okay she said I’m fine I’m fine. And then sitting in the library she started talking about how much she liked the wood stove and how beneficial it was. She asked if I was going to keep the roll top desk, the desk is one she and dad bought purchased when we lived in Asheville when I was a child. I said yes I will always keep that it’s very special. And then she said with all the changes I just don’t want you to get rid of anything I want everything to stay the same. So I look straight got sent in front of her and lean forward and very gently said Mom nothing else is changing. And then the compassion not lie was we have to change the bathroom out because the top is leaking, so we are having to fix it. That sufficed. As opposed to earlier in the day we were saying wow we need a walk-in shower because it’s hard to get in and out of the tub. So we’re going with that from now on that the tub was leaking. She was talking in her bed. So I went into bed with her. As soon as I crawled in bed she reached over and put her hand on my hip and said I’m glad you’re here. Took her a couple of hours to fall asleep and she kept reaching for me. One time she reached for me and couldn’t find me and I put my arm out and she took a hold of it and said oh there you are I couldn’t find you. Hopefully Sunday will be much less chaos there won’t be any sign or hammering the tile is going to go up in the bathroom and everything’s going to be screwed in and hopefully by evening the bathroom bathroom and bedroom will be put back together.
