Once again, I only have a couple of photos from this week. It is too hot to be out and about and my schedule has been an easy one.
On Wednesday, I stopped to see Helen. She was in the TV room for a change. She was talkative but, as usual, her words came out jumbled and rarely made sense. She mentioned that her grandmother lives there someplace. She talked about Al (her husband) and wasn't sure where he was. The aids needed to change her so we went to her room to take care of that. Another aid wanted to get her a shower and see if she wanted a nap, so I said goodbye. I kissed her head and told her I loved her. She said "love you too" and off I went. That always feels good when she seems to understand and knows who I am.
I had dinner last night at our little Italian restaurant, Il Forno. My friend, Shirley, joined Tim & Judy and Larry & Sharon. It was delicious and enjoyable. Today, after work, I have my appointment for my 2nd booster. No plans for the weekend so I can lay low if necessary. Thanks for your visit!!
We need some inside plans to survive this heat! I'm glad I hiked earlier in the week! No hiking now! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice week. Glad you had a nice "visit" with Helen, even if she talks about those who aren't there...but in her mind they are, and that brings her comfort I am sure. We just never know exactly what is going on in their minds. My daddy was pretty lucid most of the time, but toward the end he asked when was he going to go home...while sitting at the dining room table in his own home that he built 50 years before. I told him that he was at home, and he looked at me so puzzled, and I realized that he was thinking of his old home with his parents and siblings from childhood. He kind of smiled at me after a minute with a sheepish look and I could tell that he realized then his mistake, but it was okay. It wasn't too long after that he was truly "HOME", in heaven, with his family once again.
ReplyDeleteJust ask the cat if they sleep past 6!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a plant person either, (so) I'm so glad Hurricane Lily's found a happy home next door.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, how you've captured poor Vinny's sad sentiments! I hope and pray his new BF is out there, just waiting.
Enjoy your Lay-Low weekend!
Glad you had a better visit with Helen. I know how hard it is making sense of their words. Was sorry to read about you losing Lilly. We get so attached to our pets. Hope you don't have any more side effects from your jab and can enjoy a lazy weekend.
