After I left Atria yesterday, I wondered if my mother was really sick or if it was an excuse to avoid a social gathering. The last time she was nauseated was the day I was going to drive her to San Rafael for lunch with her friends to celebrate her birthday.
I posted a note on the dementia support group on Facebook and have found countless other people who express the same feeling, that their loved one always gets sick when a social occasion is approaching.
When Tom et al come up for Christmas to spend a couple of hours with her, I won't tell her. I'll just let it be a surprise. No time to get anxious about it.
