Everything is going pretty well here. Dad hasn't had any real serious dementia for, well, since the last time I posted an incident. Oh he sees a cat in my dollhouse but that's nothing. He sees that little boy on occasion that has red hair by the way.
He is working with the PT guy, Mark, who is great, two days a week. Next week it changes to Wednesday and Friday. He is set up to get a bath twice a week from home health at my request. She will come on Wednesday and Friday. Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays, Dad will be at the Senior Center. He seems to be getting more relaxed going to the center since he is getting used to everyone. I notice that Dad takes some things he hears at the center too seriously. He takes what he hears and turns it into something else. So I tell him to relax, have some fun...this isn't a contest between the Seniors there. haha He told me last Friday about this guy next to him getting a piece of Birthday Cake bigger than his. The gal that gave him the "smallest" piece didn't like him, he said. I listened to his story...let him get it all out and then I said...."But Dad...who do you think in that group of Seniors has a daughter at home that makes them homemade desserts and cakes as he gets?"
He laughed and said, no one probably. haha Then he wanted to know what was for dessert tonight.
Dad got his Vitamin B shot today. I have the nurses that come to check on him weekly do that.
Dad talked to Louise yesterday. Everytime he talks to her he always says he just lays around and sleeps all day. hahaha I always ask him after he gets off the phone with her why he doesn't talk about all the things he does and he says he can't remember what he does. haha
