Sweetie with our dinner guest from last night.
Yes, we had youngest daughter and her boyfriend over last night. We, or I should say, I had a good evening. We talked about boyfriends mom, who has early signs of Dementia. I shared with him the knowledge of what I've learned living with Sweetie, turned him on to some YouTube Videos with lessons on how to be a good caregiver to a love one suffering with Dementia.
That was the shiny side of the coin. The other side came to play after our guest left. Sweetie was threatened by them being here. It was out of the norm, and that isn't good for those who are on the Road to Dementia Town. Her world was torn up, she didn't know them, and later her fear came a calling.
Up until dinner we had a good day, tried some golf, too cold. Did our walk, and she was strong during our walk. We just had a good day, having our normal demented conversations, just a good day.
It was trying to get to sleep that her fear erupted. She was shaking, and holding my hand, trembling like a leaf. To help calm her down, out came the CBD, and it helped. I could feel and hear the edge come off. It was after that, I applied some Stress Relief lotion on her neck, and that was the right solution at the right time. I could feel her, hear her, as she was slowly relaxed and into sleep she went.
These are the times when I'm calling out to my Driver, wanting relief for her, and He knows the rest area for us. As He pulls the car over, and turns on the right music, together we watch the relief come over Sweetie like a comforter. Thank You Driver, as we travel Down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.

Sometime I would like to know more about the stress lotion and CBD you use. Could be helpful for caring for my husband.
