Busy day on the Road...

Love Always Win

It seems to be getting more difficult for us. Taking care of her has moved to another level. 

I thought Saturday was full of surprises, Sunday was the same way. 

I had to raise my game, allow for change in direction, for the plateau we have been on seems to have become a cliff which we are now falling off. 

Before Sunday, Sweetie was somewhat dependable, I could anticipate her actions or reactions to what is happening during the day. Now with her starting to faint, pass out, loose conscientiousness or how ever you would describe it, isn't something new, it is the increase of it that worries me. 

Sunday 

Sunday started early as is becoming the norm. I saw that she was up, and went to get her. 

Greeting her and seeing that she knew me as someone that was familiar, and helped her into the bathroom. As I was taking down her pullups, there was a stream of urine coming out of her, and I knew, she was about to faint again. Trying to get her to sit on the toilet, I was too late. She crumpled just in front of it. Letting her rest, getting her up, then cleaned up and put new pullups on her, back to bed she went. 

Knowing that she would be out for an hour or two, it gave me the time I needed to get some yard work done. Was able to mow, edge and pull some weeds out of the weed patch, earlier known as the front yard. 

I did get her up shortly after that, not wanting her to sleep the whole day away. Got some applesauce with cut tomatoes with cottage cheese for a lunch. She at it all. Good for her. Also gave her an ensure for added energy. 

I thought we would see how she would do in our walk about. We almost made it without incident, but it wasn't in the cards. 

We were about three forth of the way when she stumbled. Talking to her, and holding her up, we were able to get a walking restart of her engine and finished the walk. 

It seems that we will still be able to do our walk about, but will now be a shorter version of what it used to be. Last year, we would to two laps on each level, then it worked out to one lap on each level. Now it looks like we'll be doing one lap, and maybe a half lap. The slide begins again. 

When we got home, she seemed to be better, so it was the TV, dinner routine. We had one major different, 4th of July fireworks. 

I was awaken by movement and sound. Sweetie was trying to take the covers off, again, and fireworks were blasting away. 

I didn't get up to see, I could tell that there were rockets and such just going off constantly. It sounded like a barrage of cannon fire. I kept waiting for it to slow down, but it didn't. It went on for what seemed forever. Longest celebration I've heard ever. 

Was able to go back to sleep, and up again. Sweetie was gone, covers bundled up, and I was hoping that she was where I found her. On her favorite chair, sitting and staring out to no where. Gently talked her back to bed, and that is where we ended the day. 

What a busy day on the Road to Dementia Town we had. Always on the look out for something new, and Driver was there, helping us along. More curves ahead, more tunnels and over passes to travel over. We will make it, and with assurance that we will always be Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, a God Bless.
