Consuela,
the doctor may want to look at drug interactions as well.
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
some of the reading I've been doing indicates that sudden degradation might actually be because of a UTI or something like that
That was definitely my experience, Consuela.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, I think it was the case with my grandmother too.

Both very common (even if she hasn't started a new med super recently, often older people can have levels of drugs build up in their system because they don't metabolize them the same as younger folks)

Consuela,
one last thing: my friend's father went down hill pretty rapidly because of mini-strokes that were undiagnosed.

Thrive to spite them
Consuela a UTI can cause memory problems and confusion if your Mom seems worse it could be because of a UTI.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I had made my mental food plans, but the restaurant is closed for Easter. Hmph.
Imagine my disgruntlement when I swung by In N Out Burgers to pick up some grub as I collected JZ and Matilda from the rental car place, only to find them closed for Easter. I had no gruntle.

Art Crawl!!!
ita - the ball point pen drawings you've been linking to have been just amazing. I had NO IDEA.
My onerous task is ongoing. I've thrown out lots of things. And friends came by and helped me move a carload of stuff (mostly yarn and books.) And I'm planning on taking a half day tomorrow to get more stuff done.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I know another family whose mother had a rapid physical decline that turned out to be a UTI -- now she's walking fine again.

Go, sumi, go!
Pretty trench, ita. I have seen Consuela's red coat (unless she has multiple red coats and this is a different one) and it's great.
I have been chipping away at my overdue dishes and laundry and TV today - pretty good progress on all fronts!
