@kjc48 Hi Karla,
I greatly appreciate your thoughtful response. I too cherish the early mornings when there is peace and personal time.
Of course, just today she woke up rearing to go at 7 am and I’m dreading this may change the entire routine. But dealing with dementia makes one realize the absolute need to be adaptable and flexible in life. Kind of like living on a flying trapeze. I’m so darn tired today.
Sending you my best thoughts, and lots of gratitude for your supportive comments here! ❤️

@gratia Yes, adaptable, adjustable, like a flex doll; that's what we are in all of this, while they go "in and out" and we never know whether they get up at 7, 9 or 11.
I'm fortunate right now, my husband gets up around 9:30 ish so I have some free time. Enjoy your "changing" day. Thanks for your supportive comments, too. they make a difference! Best, Karla
