Dementia is a saboteur of the best order.

Still here.

I'm tired this morning. It was a rough night. Both of us couldn't go to sleep and when that happens, she is constantly moving her legs. From a balled up position, to a straightening her legs out. At the same time, she is moving over to my side of the bed. I ended up moving to the couch for some peace and sleep. 

As I'm preparing to get things together for my trip to Pensacola this spring, it seems that there are challenges that I must overcome. So, instead of bemoaning them, I will just take them on one at a time. 

If anything, Dementia has taught me, it is to be flexible. To have  a goal is the best plan, then to make sure I have alternate plans to work with, when Dementia tries it best to sidetrack my plans. Dementia is a saboteur of the best order. Even when we are on our way to an event, it can kick in, and off we go to another direction. 

Wednesday

Because the Women's Golf League has the tee's from 10-11, I have changed our morning schedule and don't get Sweetie up as early as I normally do. Letting her sleep in, may not be the best idea. 

When I got her up, she was somewhat slow to get going. Even though she doesn't know what time it is, her body clock does. I'm going to re think this timing business. 

Up and on the move. Last night, I adjusted her pull-ups to her, and she didn't leak this morning which is a good thing. 

Dressed out to breakfast, and to wait for our time to leave. 

It seems like the weather is going to be nice, and for the past couple of mornings, I didn't need to bundle her up. With the sun shining, and no breeze, I thought a more spring dressing would be OK. Was I wrong. 

When we got to the course, the clouds started rolling in, and a breeze kicked up. I too, wasn't dressed for what we were going to experience, With in a short time, Sweetie was shivering, and I was getting cold too. So, we ended up heading home after the 6th hole. I wasn't having a good day, so why prolong the agony? 

When we got home, she went straight to her nest, and went to sleep. My mistake was to let her sleep too long. 

Got her up around 4 and she seemed fine. We had a great ending of the day. It was when we went to bed, that her restlessness became apparent. 

Tossing and turning, and leaving the bed was the way that I got through the night. I did manage some sleep, in groups of 2 hours, then awake, and then back to sleep. 

Driver had His hands full yesterday, as we dodged and weaved our way down the Road to Dementia Town. It was hard, but we did find ways to Keep Our Shiny Side Up. For tomorrow is yet another day. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.  Arthur.
