Different wording on a familiar theme. Live today fully. Each today. I took Dwane on an outing -- to vote early in the presidential election. He had not expressed interest in voting, but it seemed natural for me to offer the opportunity to someone who taught history and government for many years. I was going to take him on for a haircut, but he was not feeling well. Dizzy. So, I took him back to assisted living and settled him in with a coke and ice -- his beverage of choice. The dizziness is a recurring problem. I wonder if it symbolizes further ravaging of the brain from the progressive disease of LBD. It was our last warm day for some time, so my intention was for us to enjoy it, and it was enjoyable although shortened. He again had a list of personal items he wanted from a store, so we accomplished that. A productive day before a very cold spell descends upon us.
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.

Live Each Day Fully
