Kay cried last night because she can not understand what is going on. She still recognizes that she cant comprehend and it bothers her. We had been watching Antiques Road Show on Public TV. She kept telling me she could not hear it. What she really meant was that she didn't understand the words but could not express it. At times she would go to the end of the bed in front of the TV but come back to bed. She did this two or three times. Later I figured out she was doing this because she was trying to understand what was being said. I was confusing clarity with volume. The reason it took me so long to figure this out is because her hearing is so bad she misses most of what you say. Usually you have to say it two or three times. This in addition to not understanding and expressing what she is thinking. So I just figured that she wasn't hearing the words. So when I turned off the TV she cried in frustration of her condition. This means she still has some reasoning ability left. It is hard on her emotions to be in this condition. Mine too.
Her kids need to contact here more because she is happy when they are in contact.
She has a very limited ability to say what she is thinking. If she doesn't understand or is something she doesn't approve it is "bad". But bad covers a lot of territory so it sometimes takes some doing to figure out what she means when she calls it bad. She cant express it when she thinks something is good. -----------------
