This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.

Something to look forward to
As I write this, Dwane is on his way with our son-in-law to a large university football game. He sounded more upbeat than I have heard him in a long time. It reminds me of the importance for us each to have something to look forward to enjoying. I am enjoying the "space" in my own home for the 2nd time in almost a year. That kind of space is important to me. To have to adjust to no one else's pace, energy, etc. I was going kayaking with my daughter, but it is rainy and cold -- so lunch instead, and just some good connecting time. I have also found some land that is promising to build upon. What fun it would be to design & build a house just the way I wanted to it be. Things to look forward to.
