Catheter.

Buddies.

Made through another day. It was an easy day for Sweetie, she slept the day away. We are done with the UTI regimentation and it appears non too soon. 

She has now stopped eating. I can get some small pieces of fruit in her mouth, and then she will chew on it for a very long time, and maybe if we are lucky, she will swallow. 

The nurse had told me, that in the progression of Dementia, that she will forget how to sallow. I think that stage is either upon us, or very near. She has been refusing water, too. 

Sunday

Went to see if she is awake, and she was. Checking, she had wet through the diapers, it was more of me not getting them on her correctly then her peeing through them. 

Not having a sheet for the bed, I replaced the pad, and put a new diaper on her. It is most difficult now. I have to turn her over onto her hip, and remove the wet pad and diaper at that time. All at the same time with her crying in pain. 

When we are done, as best as I can be done, she is shaking like she is freezing. So, after covering her, I sit, hold her hand, and I tell her that it is all over for today. 

The nurse also said that they can put a catheter in her, as to save the need to change her. I think at this time, it would be a good idea to get it done. 

She is sleeping more and more these days. So that leaves me to sit and watch the scenery go by. Lonely as it is, just Sweetie and Me on the Road to Dementia Town, trying to Keep Our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless. Arthur.
