Christmas '19.

Yesterday was another wild one. Although, it had its Easter Eggs. 

Sweetie has a sore ear. I don't know how it happened, but her ear is all red, and it is the one she sleeps on. I'm the one who should be taking care of her, and with this, I've fallen down. It is when I address it, and put medication on it, it gets better. Then I stop, thinking that the wound is healing, so I stop with the medication and it flares up again and again. 

Then, the next thing I know is that she is acting out, cranky, and, well you know, has the crazies. I think I've finally understand that it is her ear that is causing all this craziness. Her body hurts, and she is in pain. Like a UTI, she has lost the ability to tell me what is going on, so she gets crazy. As of now, I'm using Tea Tree Oil and Neosporin on it, and the redness is subsiding. Put a band-aid on it last night, so she won't irritate it while she sleeps. I'm not that good of a doctor, I'm slow at putting 2+2 together, but I sooner or later I get it. 

Had to go to the grocery store yesterday, and while herding Sweetie as we waited, a lady with in nurse's dress was behind us. On her fatigues indicating she worked Hospice. We started a conversation, told her about Sweetie, and she started helping me with her. We exchanged numbers and she said she could come and sit with her to give me some time off. What a relief that was. Another Easter Egg just was found. I'll let you know how it is going. 

Last night, we went out looking for and at Christmas lights. There is one area in our neighborhood that has quite a number of houses lit up. I make that our last journey before we go home. I enjoy our drive, and I think Sweetie does too, at least she seems to. Or it is just that we are in the car, and she likes to take drives, I don't know anymore. 

What I do know, it my Driver knows the way. I may be slow in figuring out stuff, like Sweetie's ear. Driver knows that and He will speed up or slow down when adjustments are needed. He will introduce new people into our lives when needed. The nurse has been a unspoken prayer of mine, and it is an example of answered prayers without being prayed over. Driver knows what I need before I do. What is around the bend, is yet to be seen. Driver and I will get there, as we travel together down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
