Thank you for all your input. This is all very new to me. So far we have not been able to predict it is happening. Things will be okay, unxomdortable but okay. Then either something (with regular T) or a thought comes into my head and I am fine. It is very quick. I can hear them talking bit can't respond. Thos last time T opened her desk draw to grab something. It is an old squeaky desk so the noise brought me to the present. So we are looking for ideas. I carry a small piece of franc in my purse that is from a momento of mine. She thinks that might be helpful. She did she would ask if she could hand it to me but I can't respond for a bit.... does touch work for anybody? Wondering if asking her to touch my shoulder or knee would help.
