Dementia LOOMS

 

Dementia LOOMS, or maybe I am just crazy....

I have 14 black T-shirts hanging in my closet.

Scoop neck, Round neck, V-neck

different lengths, butt long, all different lengths, some below butt long and slight scoop and long scoop in back.

Above t-shirt on the left came with the knot on one side.

the one on the right was straight, longer in back, I used a hair clip to hold up one side.

When dressing to take bob to heart doc, I wanted the clip one. It's warmer and the office is cold. Twice through the shirts and not there.

I yanked out the one on the left and dropped I over my head and ran out the door fussing about where was the clip one.

Back home again, as I removed the blouse I had on, I noticed it was the clip one, I could not find it because I HAD IT ON. OMW!!!!!!!!

Earlier that day I jumped out of bed and I ran in the kitchen and wrote gabapentin on a pink sticky to put on my wallet to remind me to ask the doctor if it might help bob's legs.

As I stuck it on my wallet, I pulled out the white paper to see what it was, and it said....

GABAPENTIN 

Our dog Beau has been on the drug for 2 and a half years and it works on his legs. What's good for the dog should be good for Bob. Just Sayin

I did get bob there, I did ask, and Doc did call it in, and we are trying it, both notes worked, I did not lose my keys or get lost on the way to doc office.

We are testing it starting with 1 each night for a week, 2 each night for a week and if that doesn't help 3 each night for a week and back to the doc to report how it worked.

He has no slept more than 3 hours in a row for 2 years, because of his legs burning.

The past 4 nights he slept 6 hours. we are hoping they will help with his walking, which is really bad. 

April Fool Joke is on ME

 

Here's The Scoop on how I played an April Fool's Joke on Myself

Yesterday, I got a text from my brother, and thought it was a April Fool joke, he loves them.

the note said, please resend all important papers that I keep for you, I have hard copy in safe, but accidently deleted my entire Gmail account by doing something on the phone and not on my computer.

It was true, and when I looked for my saved copies they were Gone.. I spent an agonizing hour finding them and I had deleted the ENTIRE FOLDER of paperwork but found it in the TRASH.

Later I put a sticky note on kitchen counter, LAB, to remind me of my blood lab today at 8:40

I pulled today post back in drafts

I made a post for tomorrow and scheduled it to say why I was MIA today and did not comment or post.

Note: we wake up at 3 am, I was awake from 3 to 7 with nothing to eat and 1/2 cup black coffee, FASTING and I complained because I felt nausea with out a slice of French bread with coffee. 3 AM is to early for breakfast (unless you are the dog who eats Promptly at 3 AM)and I eat bread to ease my IBS empty stomach before coffee.

I then deleted all of your posts and as I was doing that, I noticed several titles said

April Fools Day!

I said OH NOOOOO! Bob said What Now? I said,

I staved myself for Nothing and have to do it again tomorrow.

MY LAB WORK IS ON THE 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! today is the 1st! I wanted to slap him when he said, I knew it was the 1st! 

I am blaming my brother because he put the thought of April fools day in my head and I thought yesterday was the first and today the 2nd .(at least I did not get to the office and be there on the wrong day and have to be embarrassed)

You might get a comment today, you might not. 

 and tomorrow you may see a post and you might not..

Dementia Thy Name is

Glasses and Palm Trees, OH My!

 I stood in the sun, to take the shot of my glasses, because in the shade they disappeared and yes, my eyes are squinted because I was blind and could not see the screen when I took this selfie. I may have cropped the wrinkles and chins out of the photo. Focus on the Glasses.

 I paid more for these new glasses than I paid for my first car in 1963, a 56 Chevy, that was only $500.00

I wear only Silhouette, because they have no rims and weigh nothing and I don't know they are on my face. Rimless also allows me better peripheral vision.

A few days later Bob and I were in the lobby of his primary care physician, and I sat admiring these and wanting to take them home.

You can guess what I did next?

It was instant love. This office is 2 miles from our beaches and is decorated with paintings of  beach scenes. I took them home as photos.

  I tried to paint my own. Copy Cat Fail 

I started with this

 and this

and this and deleted both and 

and started over

and ended with these, close but no bananas...

I may keep trying and I may not
