Sundowners trying to come back.

With our only DIL

Fall is here, just the beginning, some of the trees are already changing from green to gold. The days are getting cooler, and the same goes for the nights. For what ever the reason, it seems to weigh on Sweetie. 

Her sundowners is trying to make its way back into our evenings. Last night, she was restless, and getting wild eyed. Her ability to listen, to just sit was ebbing from her. It was time for her to get some relief. So, I gave her some Oil and put lotion on her. There was the struggle, putting a dab in her hand, and she began the pulling away act. She couldn't understand what I was telling her about rubbing her hands together, but she wouldn't let me near her hand with the lotion. 

I had to work with her, slowly, calmly, soft voice, it took some time, but after that, she curled up next to me, and was fine for the rest of the evening.

Meals are getting more of a struggle, she will start eating fine, but about halfway through the meal, she starts telling me she doesn't know how to do it, and I have to help. 

I'm going to try some ensure with her. I know getting her to drink almost anything is a struggle, so I was thinking of using ensure on her cereal. the Vanilla flavored. It looks like milk, and may improve the cereal. 

If there is any improvement, I know my Driver will be smiling. He knows what I'm up against and He is there, at any time ready to pullover and stop for a rest, for there are many rest stops along the Road to Dementia Town, as we pull into one, always Keeping our Shiny Side Up. Makes it so easy to find us. You won't have to look hard. The caravan is getting ready, so Keep your Shiny Side Up, and we pull out onto the Road to Dementia Town. C'ya, Love Ya, and God Bless.
