She is up.

Me and my Sweetie

Leaning on elbow to listen to what she is saying, to get close, to allow her voice to come into my heart, to be absorbed by my being. Knowing that her voice maybe silenced by her Dementia. 

These are the days where the memories are made. The days that I will share when the time is right. So, until that time comes, I'll be remembering her as we go. 

Saturday 

She is up and moving again, earlier than I'd like. Then again, I have to remember that it is me to adjust to her, not the other way around. 

She has slept under her water barrier sheet and has gotten the sheet wet. When she does this, she does it good. So it is a day of changing sheets and wet barrier sheets. 

So, it is off to the bathroom to clean up and dressed in clean clothes for the day. 

Our lady is coming so I have my second day of being free of caring for Sweetie. I was able to get her some breakfast before the sitter arrived. 

When I got back home. Sweetie was happy to see me. After the sitter left, I got us some lunch, and of course, with CBD on the sandwich, which I find is an easy way to get two things done at one try. 

It seems that the duration for her happy medicine is about 2 hours. So, I find if I give her some before we leave that house for a walk about, and again when we get home, she has a smooth transition to dinner time.  

We finished the day well, again. She got up once about an hour after we went to bed. After trying to get her back in bed, I just let her go. I know she will come back in a little bit. Sure enough, she was back, about 5 minutes later. Crawled back into bed and asleep. 

If it wasn't for my Driver keeping us headed in the right direction, I think I would be lost, turned around, and headed in the wrong direction. There are so many twist and turns on this Road to Dementia Town, that getting on the wrong one would be easy. He knows the way, so here we go, another day, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.
