One several occations, Mom has gotton cravings and won't eat anything but what she wants.
Typically, I would get to Mom's and she has told Teresa that I am bringing KFC. I don't know that so I get to Mom's and she is sitting at the kitchen table, empty plate in front of her and she is chomping at the bit waiting for her chicken. I have to run out and get fried chicken for her and she is happy
A while ago she wanted a hamburger. She wouldn't eat anything Teresa made. I did her grocery shopping and picked up a hamburger at Mc Donalds. She was happy.
Today, Teresa called me and said Mom has been talking about BBQ pork sandwhich and that I was going to bring her one. McRib is not available right now at McD's but I remember a BBQ pork sandwich advertised at Gillie's Custard Stand, right on the way to Mom's. I stopped at Gillie's and ordered one. The counter man said it was last month's sandwich and is not available now. I told him i have to have a BBQ sandwich. He told me to wait, he will check the freezer and see if there are any left. He came back and told me they have ONE left and they will make it. I also ordered a favorite of Mom's, a hot fudge sundae with pecans.
I got to Moms with the sundae and the sandwich. Teresa had some food out that Mom didn't touch. Teresa is telling Mom I have the BBQ she has been asking for all day. She has a blank look in her eyes. Teresa keeps reminding her of what she was asking for but Mom has forgotten and wants nothing to do with the sandwich. The sundae? She wolfed half if it down right away. Mom can complain that she has no room for food but ice cream? Always has room for ice cream.
Teresa takes such good care of Mom. Mom's story of the week is that Teresa attacked her with two knives. Grandson Craigie is the one that called the police but they didn't do anything. Teresa must be a really lousy attacker to miss someone that is in bed and can't move!
Teresa is getting a visitor almost every day this week. I've had a busy week and this week end I'll be busy so she can take care of Pepper. She loves having him over. At least he eats.
Although I tell funny stories about Mom, she is not always in fantacy land. She has had the wild stories about killing Virgie with a base ball (Mom hit the ball with a bat, ball hit Virgie) or she kicked the soccer ball, it hit Marcy and she died. We closest to her find the storied inventive and wonder how she ever thought of these stories. Sometime we can figure out where she might have come up with such nonsence. Sometimes not. She does have some lucid moments especially when talking about the past or what her opinion is.
