Funny old day.
03/05/2013 22:13
It's been a funny old day for me today. I think it's because of all these appointments we've had recently. I always feel a bit flat. This Dementia seems to bother me more than him. It's kind of put me in limbo. When he's in the house I'm selfishly wanting some time to myself and when he's not home...

How the girl's deal with Dementia
02/05/2013 16:32
I got asked something on Twitter. How do the girl's manage with their daddy's dementia, and did I have any tips.
Well. I don't know if these are tips or not, because what works one day isn't tied to work the next, but I've been as honest as I can be with the girls. They know daddy is poorly. The...

Constantly Hungry
01/05/2013 22:24
We've been warned to avoid sweet foods because they don't think we can cope with Dementia and Diabetes (where did they get that thought from?...) but seriously, I can't fill him at the moment. He won't do "faddy foods" (such as rice or pasta), and it has to be meat, potatoes and two veg, but...

Speechless - again.

Hubby has been given a new camera when his friend upgraded his. It's all singing, all dancing and would probably make a cup of tea if you asked it nicely enough. Hubby gets fixated on things from time to time, and the camera and taking pictures seems to be the new thing - which I can cope with. The...

Dementia isn't the only cause for "OMG" moments...
30/04/2013 19:00
Not in our house anyway. There was hubby and I having a bit of a serious, grown up conversation about yesterday, Dementia, Frontal Lobe Dementia and the fact he doesn't want his ashes thrown out of an HGV at regular intervals (you had to be there... lol).
Hubby and I rarely have conversations like...

Yesterday's hospital appt.
30/04/2013 11:32
As you know yesterday was a big appt. It lasted four hours. We've spent two years simply knowing that he had dementia with them thinking he's had it two years prior to that, nobody has had the balls to try and say which type they think it is.
On my little half hour of speaking to the doctor she...

Thinking it over.
29/04/2013 23:26
Today was the big appt. With someone we should have seen 18 months ago, but heyho that's by the by.
It isn't that I haven't got anything to say today. It's a case of milling over what has been said. More thoughts rattling through my already full head. I feel like I've had a kick to the teeth, but...

Too good to be true.
28/04/2013 23:59
We have a big test tomorrow. Cogniative tests. I always dread a dr's appt because usually the mood changes in him and he becomes argumentative or obstreperous.
I thought today had gone well. Smiles, happy with me and the girlies. Then the wind down to bed time. I've spent the last hour listening to...

Sometimes I wonder...
27/04/2013 10:02
I sometimes wonder if I'm going doolally. I mean seriously. Even hubby has commented on things I do "If I did that they'd have me locked up..."
I couldn't find my phone last night. "Did you think to ring it?" I hear you cry. No I did not. Finally found it an hour after search began and where was...
