That's my Sweetie, sweater, long pants and her flip flops. |
After Friday's sundowners, I knew I had to return to giving her much more Hemp Oil then I though I could get away with. Starting in the morning, I gave her a dose, than again around 1pm, and in the "Sundowner's Zone." A dose about ever 2 hours. What a difference. She was calm, and had only a short light episode of asking the questions of "Am I going to stay?" or "Are we going to go somewhere (Never know where that somewhere is.)?" No confrontation, no unsettling arguments, it was wonderful.
This may sound strange, but while she was acting aggressively, I couldn't get her on the potty. She reverted back to "I can do this by myself" mode. This makes me shutter because I know if she is wet or dirty she won't know it, and that will make it even harder for me to clean her dirty sore bottom.
Got into a cleaning mode yesterday, and it was a good way to get her into helping me. Some simple tasks, like sweeping and dusting. We tackled our bathroom. Floor, closet, toilet, sink and all. I'm ashamed to say this, but it needed a good cleaning, and it got what it needed. Sweetie was a trooper, dusting, and even pushing the vacuum cleaner. While at the same time, telling me she doesn't know that to do, or how to do it. If it wasn't so serious, it would be funny.
I hope you could tell that yesterday was a good Easter Egg day for me. With the decision to increase her dosage of Hemp Oil was the right one. So, now I know, and will not ever decrease the amount that I give her. Not only the times, but, I've increased the amount of Oil. We are about 3/4s of a dropper with each dose. I use the lotion now at bed time. It does help her to fall to sleep.
Good new all around. And with that, I see my Driver coming in through the garage door with a smile on His face. He just brightens up any room He when he walks in. So, its time to go, now where did I leave my shoes? There they are. Time to head out. Down the Road to Dementia Town. You know, being the passenger, I have free time to watch the scenery go by. I know He will always stop when there is an Easter Egg to pick up. Out on the highway of life, watching the sun come up, as we are Keeping our Shiny Side Up. And that goes for you too. Never forget, there are Easter Eggs out there waiting for you to find, as you too, head down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping your Shiny Side Up. Till next time. Love ya and God Bless.
