The bigger hill.

My Sweetie.

Another wild one. Every time I think we are over the hump, I find the hill was hiding the bigger hill behind it. 

Sweetie was in bed most of the day, ate very little all day, and near the end of the day, came out of the bedroom and joined me for a car ride. Driving and singing Christmas Carols, it seem that she was settling down. 

Got home, fixed dinner, watched TV. Had a small battle to get her overnight pad in, but was successful. When we were getting ready for bed, she went off again. Wouldn't let me help her, check and put more medicine on her ear, and just got angry. She left, went down to the other bedroom and that is where she is now. Had to lock all the doors, set alarms and got some sleep. 

Hoping that today is a better day. I'm hoping that the ear is healing, and her crazies will subside as her ear heals. 

Last night, I had given her a dose of Oil before we went for the drive, and again when we got home. It wasn't until I got her to apply some Stress relief lotion that she became loving and cuddling. 

Damn this disease. If it was just her memories going, that is only one part. It is the confusion, the anger, the hallucinations, not wanting to be touched. All of those characteristics associated with Dementia that wear me down. 

My hope was that I'd found something that would help her and me get through it all. Don't get me wrong, CBD and the Stress Relief lotion does wonders. As the disease progress, it seems that the affects of these products becomes less and less. But, I will get through this day, and the that is the plan. Sunrise to sunset, one day at a time. 

That is what my Driver keeps telling me. Just take it one day at a time, and if necessary, one hour at a time, and we will find light at the end of the tunnel. I know Driver never takes a road that is filled with potholes, some are needed to let us know when we are on smooth roads. There maybe storms on the horizon headed our way, they are not here yet. We'll get to them soon enough, as we travel the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
