Yeah, I get more of them than I'd like to admit. Hope it's just the hustle and bustle of the season plus everyday life. I have a little trepidation as SpouseAnon is in the midst of Dementia/Alzheimer's. Scared to death of it happening to me. Thank goodness for notepads ππ and, most of all, thank God I have my son! π
Hope you have a blessed Christmas, Mary.
You too. I took care of my neighbor years ago when she had Alzheimers. It wasn't easy. One day I was her mother, then I was her best friend and then I was her sister whom (she had none). Occasionally she would remember who I was. I planted flowers one Spring only to come home and she had uprooted the entire bed. Replanted them only for her to do it another time, so I had no flowers that year.
She would wait for me to get off work each day and wait for me in my yard on my picnic table. She would have her play keyboard with her. That is when she told me she used to play piano for her church. YES! she actually did. So I would bring my guitar (flattop) outside and play with her. She knew all the church hymns.
Finally, she would go outside and end up down the road at the Minit Mart. Trying to pay for a soda with leaves she had in her pocket. She got lost twice from her husband. Police brought her home those times. After some convincing, I quit my job and became her Home Health nurse until she passed. He wanted someone who was familiar (at times) to her. May she RIP. It is a sad way to finish ones life. And thank God you do have your son.
You're right, it's not easy on any and all involved. All the different symptoms are exhausting. The same question du jour every two minutes all day long, the agression and argumentativeness.
The sleeplessness and the wandering are some of the most difficult. I'm getting combination cable refrigerator locks for the inside of all the doors to prevent egress. I'll be able to sleep a little better after that.
Once in awhile a glimmer of them appears, but it's fleeting. Heartbreaking to watch someone you love disappear before your eyes.
God bless you for consenting to take care of your neighbor, what a selfless act. You're a great lady!
Thank you and God bless you for what you are going through. I pray you all have a very Merry Christmas.
You, as well, Mary! βπ
