More couch time.

The dawn of a new day.

My right arm hurts. It seems for no reason that I can think of, yet it hurts. Like I pulled something, lifted something, and now the muscle is reacting to it. Phantom pains. It is like when I first would work out, and two or three days later, those muscles would react to the workout. Now it is if I do something out of the the norm, I will get a muscle ache and not remember what I did to deserve such a pain. 

It seems that the longer I'm with Sweetie, and taking care of her, the slower my reactions are. For example, when she gets up and leaves me, I know she is heading for her nest. No big thing, there isn't much she can do there. If she lays down and tries to sleep, that is good. It is when she starts stripping the bed, I will get in and get her to stop, or wait till she leaves and re make the bed. For some reason, she likes to remove her top sheet and put it somewhere else. Today, I found it in the closet. 

Most of the time she is in bed, laying there, trying to sleep, then up, makes the bed, and back out to the living room, sits on a chair, and a few minutes later, up again. Time for some oil and lotion to get the locomotive slowed down. 

It is then, I will get some CBD in her. I've thought of just letting her go, and see just how far she will go, then again, why should I? 

Tuesday

It was a normal morning wake up call. She was awake when I went to get her. I wonder sometimes if I didn't get her up, because of my schedule, just what would it be like? 

I'm not eager to find out, because that will mean changing her as she lays in bed, and that isn't something that I am looking forward to. So, until then, we'll just keep taking it one day at a time. 

This morning, while in the shower, she sat down on the shower chair all by herself. No sooner did she sit down, and felt that it was cold, she stood right back up. 

Out to the table for breakfast. I decided not to have breakfast this morning, because I was feeling full from yesterday. She didn't seem to mind me not being there, which I would think as good. 

The rest of the morning was without incident. It was so good, that after our golf game, we went grocery shopping. She did real well in the store. We went a quickly as possible. 

I've created a shopping list on my phone, which makes for a more efficient shopping trip with less items being forgotten. We buy more now, but go less often. 

Its nice because before we go, all I have to do is check the items that we need, and we're ready to go. 

Our couch/nap time was nice, until she got up and headed for her nest. It meant that I missed her dose and would have to struggle with her to get her to take some again. I've learned she will quickly move her head and try not to get the oil in her mouth. So, I have to match her quickness with the squirt. Then, when the oil is working, I give her another shot and that timing seems to work the best. 

I had to help her with her dinner, loading the fork and she would then feed herself. After dinner, this time, I left the dishes and we had some more couch time. It was around 8 when she got up and went to bed. 

She isn't sleeping as well as before, and I'll wake up in the middle of the night to find she has taken all the covers and balled them up. Be glad when this stage is over. 

The Road to Dementia Town wasn't as tricky as it was yesterday. Driver didn't have to work as hard keeping up with traffic. There were plenty of things to do, some stops along the way, and at the same time we were always Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.
