Anyone that has lost someone they loved to a disease such as Cancer, practically feel their Pain and wish they could stop it, reverse the process making them once again. Having personally administered the injections to help ease the Pain without causing more, wore at my being while still trying to be a Father to our children. Now, dealing with Kathy’s Dementia, even though I am not seeing any physical Pain, I am watching someone that knew what had to be done, where we were going and when we would get there, struggling to understand the obvious parts of her life.

After only a brief nap in my Recliner last night, I made my way to Bed. Kathy was already sleeping allowing me to get comfortable, before she turned over to hold hands. That was the Kathy I remembered and try to keep in my heart. Time passed, 2:00 then 4:00 and all was well, until 4:30. That was when Kathy started saying that we had to go Home. She did not seem to understand that we were Home sleeping in our Bed. No, we had to go where we have our furniture. A Half Hour passed before I was able to convince her of such along with wearing her CPAP Mask, which she did but only for an Hour.

Starting my day before 8:00 because we again had to go where our furniture was. Even as she stared at the Bedroom and Livingroom contents, it took time before it sank in.

I changed things around for breakfast making Parfaits, using each a Yogurt Cup and the Leftover Strawberries from the Fridge. Again, Kathy did not remember what happen through the night.

With our Coffees at the Computers, one of the first things I needed to do, was to confirm my appointment for tomorrow. I barely finished reading the Blogs we follow by noon.

When I create our Homemade Salads, I slice a head of Lettuce for Two Days for the both of us. By the time I sliced up the Cherry Tomatoes, Green Olives, Onion, Pepper and Mushrooms, my back was starting to complain. Adding the Feta Cheese and Low-Calorie Italian Dressing and it was a feast. Unfortunately, like my Omelettes, it was a bit too much for Kathy.

For the longest time I have been trying to convince Kathy to go for a walk outside, but she always has an excuse of why we can’t. Knowing that it would help the both of us, I finally got her onside to take a short walk. Directly behind our building is the Ganatchio Trail that can be used for Bicycling, Jogging, Walking or Walking your Dogs. It has been lengthened over the years but for today, we only needed a short block of it. From the parking lot we headed east over to Carling Cresent before heading south to Cedarview Street then west until we reached Betty Street. That was just over a long overdue Half Mile Walk, but it is a start that will help the both of us.

In the Apartment we needed to open both the Balcony Door and Bedroom Window to cool down. The 73 F (23 C) with a light breeze coming from the Northeast was comfortable. We talked about what we were having for supper when our daughter Karen called to see how we were doing. That was when Kathy told her that we were going out to see her brother Danny. That was the first time I heard that mentioned ever. Maybe later this week.

Since the Salmon I had defrosting was not yet thawed, Kathy decided that we should only have Macaroni and Cheese for supper, so we did.

The “6 o’clock Local News” talked about a variety of things.

From all the fresh air we had on our walk, Kathy had a nap during the News. When she woke up, she started asking where the Lady that was here had gone. It is hard to convince her that she was dreaming.

No Television tonight, and Kathy has already gone to Bed. Hopefully, we will sleep better.

It’s about time.
