Well, trying to print out the letter on my mom's printer was a bust. I knew that me trying to tell her over the phone how to open the document attached in her email and chose the print option would be awful, so I logged into her computer remotely (use Team Viewer). I opened her email where I sent the document to and opened the document. She had her printer turned on and paper in it, but it would not print. She was able to take a piece of mail on her desk and put it in her printers scanner and copy that and print it, but for some reason it will not print from her computer. It probably didn't even get plugged into her computer when she moved and SB set it up for her. Who knows. She was so confused by me remotely taking over her computer screen, LOL. She kept trying to tell me what she was seeing on her computer and I kept saying I know, it's me doing that! LOL. I was just going to now mail her the document to sign and include a stamped addressed envelope with it, so she can sign and mail to her investment broker.
Then DD said she could print it out and take it with her when she visits on Sunday, so we are going to do that. I can't mail it until tomorrow, so maybe she would get it Saturday or Monday, but with DD doing it I'll know for sure it got signed and sent off. I'm not even going to tell mom I'm not mailing it and DD is bringing. First off, she will just forget and keep asking me and secondly, DD was waiting until Friday or Saturday to even tell her she's coming to see her, because otherwise Grandma will just call her every evening with did you say you were coming over? or when did you say you were coming?
And right after we hung up about the printer deal, mom called me back and said "did I get my tax documents you needed mailed to you?". AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! LOL
Well, that last made me laugh. I am so glad you are patient with your poor mom.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh a bit, too. Patience is my mantra now, LOL
DeleteIt's got to be scary watching the smart, on the ball woman you used to know change into someone so forgetful. I'm glad that she'll be soon living close by you. I don't know if she's been diagnosed with age related dementia (her behaviour is exactly like my aunt's) but that's what it sounds like. Dementia is such a terrible disease. It's like watching someone you know drift out to sea while you're stuck on shore. Good luck. You and pretty well most of that are in your age bracket with parents still alive, are entering trying years.
ReplyDeleteIt's mostly sad. She was diagnosed by her doctor last August with "severe short term memory loss". Her dad got Alzheimer's around age 78, but it seemed to progress quicker than her memory problems, so at least that is good. He only lived with it a couple of years before he passed in his sleep one night.
DeleteTaking her meds and especially getting enough sleep will do wonders for her. Hopefully, things will improve a bit when she is closer to you.
Deleteit kind of sounds like maybe she gets a bit too much sleep? She used to get up around 8:30 but now that BF has passed away (not that they lived together, but I think she was always doing stuff with him on a lot of days) it sounds like maybe she is sleeping in later than that. I used to try to call around 10:30 or 10:45 to chat and make sure she took her morning meds, but now it always sounds like maybe she hasn't been up long or I woke her up, so I call after lunch now.
DeleteWe used to have our informatics people log on to our computers remotely when we had problems and it always blew my mind so I can only begin to try to understand how it feels for your mom. But I hope it gets sorted out soon, and yes you had the patience of a saint!
ReplyDeleteOur IT guys do it all the time, thankfully, LOL.
DeleteEverything will be so much better once she moves closer to you and gets help to remember taking her meds.
ReplyDeleteyes, I think that, along with me being able to take care of things easier will make things better in general.
