Mom is sleeping a lot of the time. I don't know if this should be a concern, or if it is a normal process for stroke recovery.
Now that the visiting team from the hospital are no longer coming, I let her sleep in the morning until she feels like getting up. This is usually between 10:30 to 11:30. Then I make us something to eat and give her medications. Sometimes she then helps with something in the kitchen and then says she has to lay down or she just wants to lay down after taking her pills. Then she gets up before dinner and goes back to bed after dinner. She watches some TV in the evening then goes to sleep. This isn't much of a life. It is much like the life of the cat; eat, sleep, and bathroom.
She is suspicious of my activities. I like to get up in the morning, get a cup of coffee and do some work. She thinks I am up to something. She expresses a lot of paranoia and insecurities. She doesn't trust me doing things all day. I just do the best I can to get things done and keep meals on the table.
Should this be an immediate concern for me?
