At the hospital, my mother behaves very normally and exactly like her regular self. The doctors are so confused by her normal state that they sent her in for a CAT scan of the brain to see if she has a brain tumor.
They could have saved a bunch of money if they’d asked me. I would have informed them that she’s been exactly like this for as long as I’ve known her.
People drive me nuts with endless repetitions of, “it’s because she’s sick she’s behaving like this. Illness changes you.” Yeah, ok, whatever, geniuses. It didn’t change her. Welcome to my world.
