Good morning all and Happy Easter.
Just checking in.
I’m home now after being out of town on a project for some time.
The week has been typical - ups and downs and setting structure back up at home.
2 days ago I woke with amazing clarity the whole day, weird thing was the following day/ yesterday I drifted into a fog and some visual distortions, heavier later in the day.
I can’t help but think my day of clarity I was so driven and must have done to much, as I was taking advantage of the moment.
That being said,
I have to poke fun at my condition I'm going to hide Easter eggs this morning so later on I can hunt for them. 😁
Have a wonderful day Craig

Even funnier, I told my son the Easter egg hunt poke !
And in good humor he says
“ well you better write it down or you’ll forget to look later”

@craigbyrom
I almost feel this would be a good time for me to start a journal.
It might be fun for my kids to read.
They love my sense of humor. And it might help them later on to understand some of the silly things about dementia and Alzheimer’s.
My mother-in-law had dementia.
At first some of her kids were getting upset about some of the things she said or did.
I asked the nurses how we could adjust to her many times silly conversations?
We were told to just go along with her thoughts and not argue about it or try to make her see she wasn’t correct.
We really came to find out she was really happy in her own world.
And that made it so much easier to accept her as she was.
I also now have 2 brothers with Alzheimer’s. They also seem very happy within themselves. As long as I can see that they are not suffering any pain, I can tolerate their situation.
I have told my girls, if and when I come to that same situation, to buy me one of those life like dolls, and I’ll be so happy to have a baby to care for.
Sorry…I can feel eyes rolling back in your heads already🤣
