Almost a repeat.

Angel game.

Spring training has started, and this was a year that I was hoping to take a trip to Arizona for a couple of days and to catch a game or two. As you can imagine, with all that is going on, I'll have to put those plans on the back burner till next year. 

It was almost a repeat of the day before. Sweetie being mad at me again. This time I knew what it was. I had closed the door to my office and she was up looking for me. I had not paid enough time looking at the time, and over shot my appearance time with her. 

I could tell she was upset with me. She was scared and alone. Not a good combination for someone who has Dementia. After doing all that needed to be done, she went back to bed, her safe place. It took sometime for get her up and going, to get her to reset her emotions, and feel safe again. 

Got to up date the door childproofing. She was at the door trying to get out. It seems the newness of the cover has worn off, and she is trying to see if she can get out. Like a kid and a cookie jar. Tell them not to get into it and the next thing you find is there they are, at the cookie jar. There must be a scent of freedom at that door that only she can smell. 

Happy to report that after Sweetie reset her emotions we had a good day. Watched some old Disney cartoon movies which Sweetie just got involved into them. We watched Lady and the Tramp and the Rescuer's. She so enjoyed them so much. Maybe it is because we watched them as kids and they pricked a memory or two. Think we'll return to watch them again and see if they will still keep her attention. 

Keeping her attention is one of the biggest help Driver gives me. He is whispering in my ear ideas to help both of us along. Ways to keep the days interesting and fun. That is how we keep ourselves going, on this journey. Driving down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
