Yesterday was Mother's Day and we got the usual phone calls. I also got a box of chocolate covered strawberries a couple of days ago from our oldest. My favorite food in the whole universe. It was a quiet day. Cowboy napped a lot.
This book I am reading talks about how sufferers of dementia typically either sleep a lot more as Cowboy does or a lot less. I am glad it is not the less !
He still has hiccups every day, sometimes 3 or 4 times a day. It does not seem to relate to eating or drinking and I can find no reference to it in the literature. His nose runs all the time too.
Gena is here and he is getting his bath and a shave.
I got a call from the VA and his service with them starts on Wednesday. It is three hours they will provide twice a week so we are going to stay with the 5 hours on Wed and I will pay for 2 hours and then they will send Marsha again on Fridays for 3 hours. It is working out. Won't know until Friday if the Medicare service will continue or not. I almost hope they don't and then we can get VA in on Mondays and have 3 days a week at a regular set time, the same person most all the time, etc. I am thinking about calling and cancelling my appointment with the Area Agency on Aging.
Cowboy seems a little out of it today. He is not very responsive and is just sitting and staring. This morning he knew the date( but he cheated and looked at his watch.) I showed him pictures of the grandchildren and he was able to identify some of them but he got some of the names attached to the wrong faces and one name he could not recall at all.
