    Alas, it is time to get the Nannie person out of her recliner, where she has been sitting for who knows how long. Will get her dressed, medicated, and fed, and hope for her to take another long...

    SiL said she came to give Nannie a shower and do her hair. She said she could cut my hair,too. I shrugged and said I needed to go out to the store, and I'd try to be quick, because she is SOOOO fast...

    Sunny right now, but it is supposed to rain and maybe thunder in a while. Going to get up to 80 degrees. Got up and found Nannie up in her recliner, sleeping. Don't know how long she's been...

    Oh Nannie! She's been half-asleep and dreaming or hallucinating that she had something in her lap or in her hands, and she keeps looking for it. Doesn't quite believe me when I say she has not had a...

    WELL! Chatty CG called me this AM saying she was going to be a little late, because of this, that, and the other thing. I told her about Nannie's 'cold' and said that when I got Nannie up I...

    To tell you the truth, I have been secretly hoping that "the old person's friend" would take Nannie. SiL says she thinks Nannie will be well enough to go to daycare on Friday, I have my doubts;...

    At least I got Nannie to swallow the time-release Mucinex without chewing it. She does not seem to realize how JUNKY her respirations are. And when I tell her to COUGH, .... it doesn't MOVE from her...

    Yes. BiL and SiL have really been helpful in a lot of ways; unfortunately they cannot change, and the dementia doesn't seem to have changed, Nannie's basic personality! And I am so burned out by being...
