Out on the course with Sweetie.
I was asked "What am I trying to achieve while writing this blog?". Am I trying to see if anyone will read it? Am I judging my pride and ego on my reader ship? Am I using it for therapy? Just what is my goal here?
Like any fork, there are many prongs to this blog. For me, it is to find ways of see that what we are going through isn't uncommon for anyone else that is on this Road to Dementia Town.
Those of us who care for their Loved Ones that are in the same situation that I am in. Those that have struggles with help, with meds, with everyday chores like toileting, bathing, meals, sleeping. To dressing, and going on outdoor adventures, or the insane routines, the same thing day after day, and never knowing how that day will go.
My goal here to is tell you what we did, how she was, and what we are doing to keep somewhat of a good life together. At the same time, I get relief by telling our story.
Tuesday
I was greeted with a smiling face as I came into the room. It seems that she was awake and ready to get up. Again telling her who I am, and what our plans are, I got her up and walked into the bathroom for our morning starter.
She seemed more willing and was helpful through out the morning. When I told her I was going and would she like to come with me, ( I let her make the decision.) she was eager to join me.
Up from the table, into the car and off we went. It was a good day on the course. Overcast sky, warm temps, and a light breeze. Could not have asked for a better weather conditions. Shot a 38, which is a good game for me and was content, and Sweetie was tired by the time we ended the round.
The rest of the day was a good day. The run to the mall for our walk about, the long drive home, then relax on the couch waiting for dinner and the end of the day.
We enjoyed the day on the Road to Dementia Town. It was because of some great driving by our Driver. He makes it so easy, that we can forget that He is there. Behind the wheel, guiding us all the way, with Our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.

Please keep writing your blog. I really do try to read it every day. It has been one of the things that get me through these tough times. It makes me feel that I am not alone. Mom has started sleeping much more. She has decreased what she eats. I am worried not that all of the grandkids have come to see her, we might be closer to the end. But I am not God, and he knows what he is doing. Praying for you today my friend.
Thank you for sharing your journey.☺
