So as most of you know, I am a home-health aide for my Grandma. If you have never taken care of a grandparent wih alzheimer's, you are missing out! (hahaha) But honestly, my grandma is a sweetheart, with the exception that she hits, bites, pinches, scratches, kicks, spits, and screams when I make her do things such as take a shower or, well,... stand up.
A funny thing happened yesterday... My mom went with me to Grandma's to get her out of bed and ready for the day because lately she has been too hard to do it myself. We got down there and Grandma was in bed, so Mom woke her up and we got her up and dressed and ready for the day, with much difficulty might I add, she was keeping her jaw clenched and her eyes shut. Grandma was very out of it and not making any sense, which was normal for her lately, but this just seemed weird... So i kept saying "Grandma," waiting for an answer.... Never got one... Then I said "Grandma, Grandma, talk to me, it's Ashley" Well, you know she answered me then, she meant business by saying "WHAT??!!??!!" in a very mean tone, then I said "Well, hey, there ya are, thats the Grandma I know and love" (my mom was juat laughing at this point) and Grandma muttered under her breath "Oh shut up".
I tell ya, she is so stinking cute, even when she is being a little meanie and making my job difficult, I can't help but love her! (MORE STORIES TO COME IF SOMETHING ELSE FUNNY HAPPENS WITH HER)

HAHA! Such a classic Grandma story! She is so silly.
Wow, you are very patient to help her everyday! The fact that she knows who you are is a true testament to how much you help!
