Had some ups and downs.

My taste of heaven.

It is the different days that make me more aware of what she can't do as much as knowing what she can do. She can make me happy, fulfilled with a look, and then when the look is gone, what I can't do. 

While she is in a "good mood" we can do anything. Walk, sing, eat, and enjoy each other. It is when she leaves that zone, is when the problems begin. 

Reading her is like looking out the window, and seeing what the weather is like. It isn't until you go outside, then you know what it is. From inside, it is cloudy, and windy, it is when you step into it, you find it is hot, not stormy cold.

Wednesday

Tweety is ready to be picked up this morning. I'm all a fritter about getting her back. I have to keep my excitement under wraps. I don't want to excite Sweetie too much. 

Son is coming over to get us. We had made plans the day before to get Tweety in the afternoon, but his boss let him have the morning off so we can get here earlier then planned. 

Sweetie was so excited to see her son, she glommed onto him and wouldn't let go. A good start for her. 

Putting her in the front seat with her son, we were off. Down the driveway we went, and with Sweetie and son in the driver's seat, the short trip was made longer by my eagerness to get my the Corvette back.  

At the dealership, paid the ransom to release Tweety into our care, out the door, got Sweetie into Tweety, with me in the driver's seat, we headed for home. 

Home and it was time for me to put Tweety's name tag on her. Off with the temporary tags, on with the permeant one, "Tweety 1". Home at last. 

From then on, we had our ups and downs of the day. 

On the golf course, Sweetie had a walk away event. I had to force her into the cart and headed home. Dementia was at her heels, yapping and snapping at her. She wanted to get away and couldn't. Got her home, and did what I had to do, and batten down the hatches until she return to sanity. 

Just one more thing to do, groceries. Not enough time to make a list, so we got what I knew we needed, anything else can be picked up latter. She did quite well in the store. Home, she helped put away the groceries, and then went to bed. 

We had some ups and downs for the evening, but finished well. 

The Road to Dementia Town got a little bumpy as Driver steered us this way, then that way, but missing all the big bumps and tight turns. Through it all, we were still able to Keep Our Shiny Side Up, C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.
