Me too Grandma! Oh Lord, I'm definitely doomed! I've been doing this since I was little. I learn by audio. I took a CPR AED skills evaluation the other day and it was hilarious. I got stuck on stupid and was getting ready to use to two hand compression on the infant. I've never done anything like that in all my years of renewing my BLS. To top things off, I spent $95.00 dollars on the class!
According to your profile info: "I am caring for my mother Patricia, who is 70 years old, living at home with age-related decline, alzheimer's/dementia, depression, sleep disorder, and stroke."
Why don't you do the one thing that will answer your question? Get her to an appointment to see her primary care doctor who can give her a thorough check-up and get a baseline test for cognition and memory? Seventy is early for dementia but there are many other medical conditions that can produce dementia-like symptoms: UTI, thyroid problems, over- and under-medicating of drugs (both prescription and OTC, like sleeping pills), vitamin deficiency, diabetes.... It would be best to start by knowing what she's dealing with. We're not doctors...
That is NOT a sign of any kind of dementia, but it is a sign that you need to get out on your own and get a life. Lots of people talk to themselves(including me)and we should all be reading our medicine labels. You seem to be looking for reasons that something is wrong with your mother, when perhaps you should be looking in the mirror at yourself. And it's not just post I'm referring to, but the many others you have posted over the last 6 months or so. You need help.
You are SO determined to get us to say OH YES, YOUR MOM HAS DEMENTIA AND SOON YOU'LL BE FREE!!!!!!!!!!!! When in reality, as you've been told time and time again, you cannot place your mother in managed care w/o a POA or simply b/c she's on your nerves at home. I'm sure she'd be very sad to know of all these posts you keep writing on this forum, because they are truly awful.
Your first post said Mom had a stroke in 2020. Its very likely she has had another one. Or first stroke is causing her to now have Dementia. You will never know until you get her to a Doctor to be evaluated. Have labs done to rule out anything physical.
What type of care do you do for Mom? You say brother is disabled, what is his disability?
P.S. Just saw u posted on Jan 11 that Mom fell 3x in one day. If you haven't gotten her to a doctor DO IT! She could have a UTI or she has has another stroke. Don't ask lay people what they think. Get Mom help.
If reading medicine labels and talking to oneself if a sign of dementia, then it's likely more than half the adult population has dementia. These are not signs of dementia and are likely normal. Further if they were signs of dementia, what is your plan for coping with them?

Maybe she's talking to herself because no one else will listen.
Move out, get an apartment or move in with a friend. Get the life you say you want.
