Last night was confusing for Marie, and it stayed with me all day. About 10:00pm when I was getting ready for bed, Marie came over to me and said " I guess this means we're not celebrating New Years." I told her that it was January 21st, but she was convince that the next day would be New Years day. She thought it was New Years Eve and that I wasn't going to celebrate it with her. I assured her it wasn't New years Eve, but she was convinced. I wished her happy New Years and that seemed to settle it for last night.
Today, I called Marie from work. She was upset that I wasn't home. She said that she had expected me to be home by noon. Marie said I told her weeks ago, that I would get out early, today because I worked on New Years Day. The facts are that I didn't work on New Years. I was home all day with Marie.
I don't know if this is confusion or a delusion. Whatever it is, she's had the same one a few times before. I took her to a movie tonight, to get her mind off New Years. She's fine now. I don't know what causes this. If it's from the surgery or the chemo treatments. Will these episodes keep coming? Will there be a time that she doesn't come back to reality? If anyone has any input on this, I would appreciate it.
