Twist of the day.

"You are my Sunshine."

How is it, that someone that cannot communicate well with words, can only hold your hand, and I have to help her with everything, and still be my sunshine? 

Found out that words are not the only way to communicate. There are the other ways, the smile, the tightening on her hand in mine, looking into those eyes of hers, especially her eyes. Those beautiful blue eyes. When she turns to me, smiling and I fall into her eyes. They drive away the clouds, the rain, and bust forth in sunshine. 

When we are doing our walk about, I will sometimes sing to her. One of the songs I sing is "You are me Sunshine". It is an old song, so it is still in her memory and she will hear me start it and soon will join me, and sing it back to me. Now that is the sunshine breaking through to light our way. 

Saturday

It is my "by myself" day. I'm up early, as usual. Getting done with my morning stuff, I check on Sweetie. I'm so glad I have these cameras in the house. I don't have to go into the bedroom to see what is going on. Open the phone, open the app, and there she is. 

This morning she was making a tent with her knees up. Not sure what was going on, I went to get her and see. 

With our morning introductions done, I pulled the blanket away and found she had pulled her pants and pullups down and peed. Most of it was caught in her pullups, a lot wasn't. So, up we got, headed for the bathroom, and got the day started. 

I left the bed unchanged because my sitter was coming in and she has told me to leave things for her to do. And that is what I did. 

This lady just loves Sweetie. She tells me how easy it is for her. They "talk" and watch TV together. I can tell that Sweetie likes her too. For when she see her, she lights up. 

I asked her to pull the dying flowers out and rearrange them into a smaller vase.  I also told her that I wanted to replace this big clear bowl with the new vase. When I got home, both the new arrangement was done, and she cleaned and set the new vase just where I was going to put it. She is such a blessing. 

Sweetie was in bed when I got back from my golf game. I was gone longer than normal, because of the traffic on the course. 

I had a man and his son following me. He was new and didn't know about golf curtseys. So, I let them play through, and wouldn't you known it, they played slower than when they were behind me. 

There is a point on the course where I can turn and replay the second hole, and add some extra holes to my game. That is where I met a young man and we joined up. 

As we played, we talked, and soon I found myself talking to a younger me. As we played, we talked and we found that we played at the same skill level. It was great day on the course. We exchanged phone numbers, and plan on playing together again. 

After I sent the sitter home, I tried to get her up. She wasn't having any part of it. I did get her up long enough to put some CBD in her, and let her go back to bed. 

When I was able to get her up, she didn't want to have anything to do with me. I've spoken about her having this emotional memory and how she will be put off with me, and she doesn't know way. The sitter said they watch a movie with an emotionally sad ending and she cried. Add to that my being gone longer then normal, I think that may have set her off. 

Anyway, on my second attempt to get her up, I was successful. Still being upset with me, I was able to get that second does of oil in her, and put her in the car, off for our walk about. 

By the time we got to the mall, the CBD was doing its magic. We were able to do the walk about without incident. 

Here comes the fun twist of the day.

I had a 5 o'clock meeting to hit, and was going to head home, do a quick turn around and head out to the meeting. Well, the clock wasn't on my side, and we had to improvise. 

Headed for the closes Mickey "D's", got a bag dinner, headed for the meeting place. When we got there, we went into the room and had dinner while waiting for the meeting to begin. All worked well. 

When we got home, we watched TV, had desert, and went to bed. I'm starting to give her a dose of CBD, and put Stress Relief lotion on her hands just before we go to be. It seems to help her relax and go to sleep. 

It was a good day yesterday on the Road to Dementia Town. With a few bumps along the way, nothing serious, Driver made it to our resting spot. You could see it was us, for we had our Shiny Side Up when we pulled into the parking lot for the night. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.
