OK....listen up. Since mom has come to live with me, I have ALWAYS had to help her dress AND get undressed...ESPECIALLY the bra. She has NEVER made ANY attempt to try to take her bra off when getting dressed for bed. HOWEVER.....for the last two nights, SHE has initiated getting "ready" for bed herself. She goes into her bedroom (without asking where it is!!) turns the light on (without asking where it is!), finds her PJs (without asking where they are), and last night she COMPLETELY undressed herself ..EVEN BRA!!! and put her own PJS on...comes back into the living room..walking NORMALLY (no more itsy, bitsy steps!!!)... WOW!! Isaid...WOW!1 MOM!!! You did all of that on YOUR OWN!!! You are getting SO MUCH BETTER!!! SHe smiled and says "I think I am getting better!" I said, "WOW>>>Doesn't that make you feel SO GOOD???" She says, "yes, it makes me feel like I am accomplishing something!" HOW ABOUT THAT YOU ALL?????????????????

What have you done to cause the changes? My mother needs help with most things so I would love to here how you managed to have her do these things by herself. Change of Meds?
