Expect good things today.

CAREGIVERS NOTE: Dementia reared its ugly side yesterday. Forgetting the content of a couple of conversations the night before and earlier in the morning led to a huge misunderstanding and discouragement in not getting an update from his “boys” last evening. The agitation was present all day long and the worry over their welfare was pretty much at the top of his mind well into the evening when they didn’t show up for dinner or by bedtime. Hoping for a much better day today. At least one can hope.

Have faith in the process.

Lots of repeat storytelling the last few days – which for the most part has been fun to listen to even if it’s the 5th or 6th repeat in the last hour or so. He finds a way to work it into the conversation and change up a detail or two to grab your attention – there’s something he wants you to hear and hold onto. I hope we found the detail he was hoping we’d find.

Hoping today is a better day all around. PT this morning and another appointment this morning. Tuesday’s session was a good one, and hopefully, Dad will be mobile this morning without any dizziness.
