And how in heck could one do this I've no idea!

Mismatched shoes today, and the weird part, which makes me think that perceptions are all mucked up, is that Mom's shorter left leg had the shoe with no heel on it, and the right leg had the shoe with the three inch heel on it!

How could one not perceive that?

Call it our friend Al!

Mom's "perception" of things,,well let just say its like "Elvis",,,its left the building!! Wink

I often wonder why my Mom will have her shoes on the wrong feet,,,or doesn't seem to notice that she doesn't have on her left "prostethis" ( or however you spell "fake boob").

I'll ask her if she has her partials in,,yes she says,,and yet,,there they sit in her "tooth cup " soaking away!!

Ahh,,the joys of our LO's perception,,yes Sweetie,,,Elvis has left the building!

Don't bother figuring it out,,,just fix it the right way,,if she'll let you! Peace

Mom had her shoes on the wrong feet one day and when I gently pointed it out to her, she said, oh, I thought they didn't feel right. But she could not tell what was wrong about it.

I'm sure we all have stories like this!

Today I found Laurette sitting on the floor, diapers around her knees, pants on backwards pulled up to the diapers, a sweater pulled on top of the pants, and backwards shoes. To make things worse since she was sitting she peed on the rug.

I can't imagine what they're going through, but it must be really hard work to keep things straight. No wonder they get tired.
