Kicked me out.

My Lover

Gone, just gone. It was a battle all day long. We were doing just fine, when she let go of my hand, and that was it. The mood was gone, the knowing who I was, gone and the pacing began. 

What is it with this crazy disease? It was as if her sundowners was coming back. I haven't experienced this behavior in months. 

Sunday

It started somewhat as a normal Sunday morning. The exception is, Sweetie is getting up earlier, and she is getting herself out of bed. Just the other day, she needed my help to sit up, let alone get out of bed. 

I was able to re-connect my phone to the nanny cams, so I could see that she was awake and moving. It is normal for her to be out of sorts when she first gets up, so I treat her in a way that we can get the morning changing over with quickly. 

Because it is Sunday, I have our church on TV, and she is watching and paying attention. Fix breakfast, and moved her to the table so she could eat and watch at the same time. 

After breakfast, I couldn't get her to join me on the couch. She just watched the sermons. 

I can usually get her to recognize me by introducing myself to her, and it will jog a memory of who I am and we connect. After that, I was able to get her on the couch and watch The Mickey Mouse Club show. 

I'm learning that if she is happy watching TV, I can get things done. I had some yard work to get done, and after explaining where I was going, and she didn't want to join me, I went out and did what I needed to do. 

She's just not eating. She ate part of her lunch, and some of her dinner. When she acted hungry a half PB&J sandwich, her favorite, and she took a bit, left, and then we had fun with her taking it into the bedroom, or just walking around with it in her hand. 

Ended up taking it away from her, and cleaning up the kitchen. Had to throw the sandwich away. When she was in the bedroom, and I went in to see what she was up to, she kicked me out and shut the door. 

Slept upstairs, and had a good nights sleep. Rested and ready for the day. 

Driver knows what is ahead, as we prepare for the day, Down the Road to Dementia Town we go, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
