Mom has dementia

It's a weird situation to be in --- taking care of my mom.  Currently, her mental capacity is somewhere between child and preteen, I think.  She is preparing to go to church with my brother and sister-in-law.  So far, she's come to ask me what she is supposed to do with her hair, where is her lipstick, what does she do with eye shadow, and where is her cane.  If told too early, she will get ready hours in advance and be all dressed up waiting impatiently.

I think she used coloring pencils to put her eyebrows on.   Does that even work?  She has eyebrows on, so maybe it does.

She's been in extra pain for a month now since she fell off the bed, landing hard on her side.  Her right hip is more painful than normal.  Yesterday, she said she might need to see a doctor, which is fine, but even if it's cracked or anything then they would want to do surgery.  I don't think she can make it through the process of x-rays, dr. visits, surgery and rehab.  Even so, I told her if she wants to go to the dr, I'll take her.

I'm going to be gone overnight, which is always difficult.  Even though she doesn't like me too much, she's used to my being here and gets all pissy when I go, thinking I won't come back etc.
