Holding hands.

Me and my friend


While we're at the mall, I notice a photo background the mall had set up, and every time we walked pass this area, I keep telling myself, I need to bring the camera with us and get some pictures. As you can see, I did, and we did. Will be sharing some of the others as time goes bye. 

As the days go bye, there are subtle changes that other wise wouldn't be noticed. For one, I've increased the dosage of her CBD. It was half a dropper, now it is 3/4 of a dropper. From once ever 3-4 hours, it is now between 2-3 hours per dose. To make sure, I give her some at bed time, and put lotion on her hands to help her sleep.

Sleep is another changing event. She used to sleep well all night long. Now it is a crap shoot. Sometimes she will sleep all night long, then again, she is up, trying to take the covers off the bed, or wandering the house. The other part of her sleep, is she gets up earlier than before. 

So, now we have, up earlier, cranky attitude, less sleep at night, and that doesn't make for a friendly Sweetie. I know what I'm like if I don't get my normal amount of sleep, I can only imagine what is going on with her when she is low energy and sleepy all the time. 

Monday 

As I was describing, Sweetie was up around 7, and I had to get to her before she got out of the bedroom. It is so much easier for me if I'm there right as she gets up and head her to the bathroom. I think it is because I'm suppose to be there and she knows it. 

Just a side note, about her bowels. I don't think she is ever really constipated, or that she has diarrhea either. As the day goes on, she will have small bowel movements. Not big enough to say she had one, just enough to soil her liner. And again, she will have a good size one and then back to the little ones again. I guess some is better than none. 

Accept for the fact that she was up early, we had a good morning. 

Again, I put some Fruit Loops on top of her bran flakes, and it worked. I'm so glad we found a substitute for the bananas, silly as it sounds. 

If I can remember the KISS method, I do great. 

Tried to play some golf yesterday. It was breezy and I didn't take that into account. Around the 6th hole, Sweetie was shivering. So, as not to want her to freeze for the last holes, we headed home early. 

The rest of the day was a delight. Lunch, pulled some weeds in the front, repaired my flag holder, and as the picture above is proof of, a walk about at the mall.

Then to finish the day, a light dinner, light hearted TV, and off to bed we went. 

It started slow, this day on the Road to Dementia Town, then as the day brightened, so did our spirits. Driver with a smile on His face, Sweetie and me holding hands, watching the miles go bye, and we were Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.

A fitting farewell.

When we were young. I've been rummaging around and found this picture of Sweetie and me. We had been married for about a year when this...
