Mom is in a wheelchair
“Where am I?”
“Do you know where I am?”
“I want to go home”
She repeats this around this time
Doctor prescribes Ativan 0.5 mg as needed
Doctor prescribes melatonin 5 mg at 6 pm
Then,
Doctor prescribes Ativan 1 mg four times a day
Doctor prescribes trazodone 25 mg at 3 pm
Doctor prescribes melatonin 10 mg at 6 pm
Doctor prescribes clonazepam 0.25 mg twice daily
“Hello, where am I?”
“Can you take me home?”
“Do you know where I am?”
Mom, take this pill
She grows quiet
“I think… I am… crazy”
“No, Mom, you are not”
We hugged
as long as her memory
allowed us
