Dementia doesn't like the rain.

At the Beach again.

Yesterday was a different day because of showers, and Dementia doesn't like the rain. When it comes to the weather, there is a very small amount of variation that Dementia will allow. If the wind is blowing, not good, if it is too cold, again, not good. I'm waiting for a good thunder and lighting storm to hit. I'm sure that will have Dementia climbing the walls. 

Because I have some TV shows that I like to watch and I know Sweetie cannot watch, I made the decision to try and watch them, until Sweetie wakes us. That is how we started the day. It seemed to go well, until she woke up and came down stairs. Nothing violent was going on, and a scene about some girls being released just triggered her. Just never know what will allow Dementia to turn the key of response. She ended up going back to bed for some about an hour. 

We went to the golf course so I could play and she could walk. That didn't end well, it started raining, and that put an end to that. 

After changing clothes, which was another fun event. Trying to get Dementia to change into dry clothes seem like not a good idea to her. But we got dry clothes on. 

Tried to do a walk around the block, and sprinkles started, headed back home again. 

All is not lost, for we did have a good evening and dinner. I'm making meals as simple as I can. The idea to make mash potatoes and mix the meat and vegetables in with the potatoes has been a great success. She doesn't have to look at different food groups in her bowel, just the mound of mash potatoes, with a spoon and just a few questions on how to eat, the are soon gone from the bowel. Yea!!

Yesterday was a day of choices. My biggest choice was how to make Sweetie comfortable during the day. What happened was a day with an Easter Egg waiting for me at the end. When we went to bed, and she curled up and slept, peacefully. That, my friends, was an Easter Egg well worth waiting for. 

Its time, and I can hear my Driver coming in the front door. Its OK, I gave Him the Keys to my house along time ago, He's welcome anytime. You know what that means? Time to hit the Road to Dementia Town. We are going to talk about yesterday, and what I learned. He never gives test, just watches and sees if I can apply the lessons I've learned. Got my cool sunglasses in one hand, and hat in the other as I slide into the passenger's seat, buckled up and off we go. Driver and me, down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. That goes for you too, keep yourself buckled up and you drive, or do you have a Driver who can do the driving for you, as you head out, down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping your Shiny Side Up.
