Observations

Last Sunday I stopped by to see Martha. She was just getting ready to watch TV but the remote wasn't working for her. Fairly annoyed, she handed it to me to see if I could make it work (pretty funny because I normally hand the remote to Linda to sort out). Anyway, I got the remote to pull up a menu on the TV, and then started clicking through to find football. Martha knew when I hit the list of NFL channels!

I don't know how or how many, but I think she recognizes some words. Chloe says she's noticed the same thing. I asked Martha and she said yes. I think the disconnect is in her ability to process and/or communicate what she saw/read.

Mo and Bob also stopped by and brought Martha a lottery ticket. Interestingly enough, she knew she was supposed to scratch off the gray stuff. That's hard to do one-handed, so she handed it to me to finish. She won $8. Bob wanted to look at the ticket (yeah, right) but she was not going to give it up. And we were treated to a couple of rounds of "I won, I won, I won."

P.S. She liked the chili I made. I'm guessing, but I imagine she liked the ice cream Bob and Mo brought as well. ;-) Coming up this Sunday -- scalloped potatoes.
