Love and Alzheimer’s: January 2019

2 Oct

Saturday, January 5, 2019.  It is the middle of the afternoon. It is raining outside but not as much as was promised. We were able to take a walk this morning and went out at lunchtime to pick up a bison burger salad from the Counter. Vera seemed to enjoy the burger more than the last time […]

Love and Alzheimer’s December 2018

9 Sep

Wednesday, December 5:  It is mid morning. Vera is on the bed with her hair drying after I just gave her a shower. It takes quite a bit of energy to get her in there but I feel successful when I do. We slept really well last night compared with the night before when Vera woke […]

Love and Alzheimer’s November 2018

12 Aug

Thursday, November 1:  We just had a really fun date and I wanted to write about it. Vera is now sitting on the couch watching an old silent movie with great music. I don’t know what it is.  I felt tumesced, I think a lot from the volatile stock market and negative energy from the News […]

Wednesday, October 3:  It is mid morning. We have taken our walk and Vera is sitting next to me. She was napping but just had a little coughing.  Last night we fell asleep around 11PM but Vera got up soon thereafter and was upset about her drawstring on her pants. She said it was in one piece. […]

Sunday, July 1:  I have been busy reformatting the book so that it fits and looks good. I submitted it yesterday and they will send me a proof copy by mail.
