When I got home yesterday afternoon, I was eager to see how things had gone with the sitter. Kate seemed so disoriented that I hated to leave her. I left a DVD of Les Miserables for Mary to use if they wanted to watch it. They did watch it, at least Mary did. She said that Kate watched a while and then took a nap. They had just returned to the family room from our bedroom before I arrived. Mary said that Kate seemed to enjoy it before deciding to rest.
After Mary left, Kate said she was glad to see me and then asked my name and her name. Then she asked if we had children. When I said yes, she wanted me to tell her about them. We continued the discussion as we drove to dinner. I mentioned something about our grandchildren. When I told her their ages, she was floored.
We Apart from asking questions about us and our family, she was rather subdued today. She didn’t say much at dinner nor after we got home. The DVD of Les Miserables was still in the player, so I backed it up and played the last fifteen minutes for her. She continued working on her iPad without showing much emotion. I have tried to be very upbeat with her, and she has responded momentarily. It didn’t last, however.
