My goal is to kind of purge my brain a bit of this unusual life changing experience. Not to say I regret any choices I have made, I just want to pass on my knowledge to anyone going through the same issues with taking care of parents or loved ones with dementia/alzhiemers. Through my family, I realize how special this time really is. With that said, I wish everyone well and hopefully I can help someone too.

So yesterday was a great busy day. Got up Biggie, peed on the new deck in the back yard-Daisy got her tie down wrapped around a pipe, Cole pooped a lincoln log next to the cat box and dad was digging feces from his booty and wiping it on his bed rails. Sheesh all before 7:30 shoulda gone back to bed at that point. Cleaned all messes up, gave dad his meds, took blood sugar, made him his breakfast. Proceded to run around the next hour like a chicken with her head cut off, Kathy our cna came. We put dad on his comode and I asked him if he had a name for me today, and his answer-"Misfit!" How glorious a day! He called Kathy and my husband Ron, "fart heads" and to top this best day ever off, when I said I love you to him when I got him tucked in, he said----" I love you!" not once but twice and clearly!
