You and Me.

My great lover.

I have a picture frame on my desk with the caption of "You and Me". It is meant to have a picture of two people, otherwise why would say "You and Me"? As the caption reads, who is who's great lover? I know she is mine, and I will always think that I am hers. 

Saturday

My lady came in to stay with Sweetie. We talked about Respite, and what is going on with her. I told her how when I get her up, I hold her hand to guide her into the bathroom. I'm not really sure if she needs me to do that, it is just a feeling I have. She isn't as stable as she used to be. 

As we talked about Sweetie, she told me that even though she  hasn't been coming for a long period of time. With the time she has been with us, she has seen a big decline in her. Which confirms what I've been seeing. 

As you would expect, she gives me a report on how they did while I was gone. She told me she thinks it is so sweet that she recognizes me and peeks up when I come in. 

One of the things she does, is she baths Sweetie when she is with her. That is good, and I told her that I would like that to continue. Even when we shower in between, it is good that she is clean. 

I'm going to either skip a meal, or reduce her intake of food during the day. The idea is to build up her appetite for a larger meal. Sometimes I think I just over feeding her and she doesn't have enough time in between meals to digest her last meal and it is still in her stomach so she isn't ready for another meal. Last night she just couldn't eat. Her, "I'm not hungry" behavior was on full display when I cooked our dinner. She left the table before she even sat down. She did come back and eat some food before I just gave up. I'm hoping that this morning she will regain some of her appetite. If it doesn't come back, it just means a new door has been opened. As her metabolism slows down, so does her ability to digest food, and with that comes less of a need to eat. 

That is OK, for it is like when we are driving above the speed limit, and both Driver and me enjoy the thrill of the high speed sprint, and we need the slow down times to relax and enjoy the view. As He drives us, these times will come and go, as it should. As we drive on down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
