I remember my Grandmother had a moment of clarity when she had already had dementia for quite a while. She knew who I was and was aware of what was happening to her. She said goodbye and that she would forget. You never know what is going on with them under the hood or what they're perceiving, even if they can't articulate it.
As for masks, you could try something like this:
It doesn't need to be as fancy, you can cut a hole in something and glue the window in place. It only has to last the duration of a visit.0 -
Today, I should be on day two of an epic 16 day raodtrip around the Balkans with two of my friends. We were supposed to end at my (Croatian) friend's brother's wedding, at which I was promised spit roasted lamb and much dancing. Instead I am sitting at the desk marking essays.
But tonight at least I get to head over the county boarder and see my nanny and granda for the first time since January. We'll be having socially distanced flasks of tea in the yard and my nanny has promised me lemon drizzle cake
Buile Beag, I hope the trip to see your gran goes well and doesn't upset either of ye too much - dementia is an awful thing.0 -

Tired. Want a hug. I am like Blondie, hanging on telephone. "If I dont get your calls then everything goes wrong".
You can't leave us with just the opening line!.0 -

Now if only the hotel group gave me points for staying, I could whisk the wife away to a palace
Good man Smurf. We are all on a journey of sorts.
Once again I'm sitting in my production space It's gearing up for time travel. Seriously! Today I organized all my Super-8mm film I shot from aged 13 to 20 years old. 1985 to late 1991. Bit by bit it will hopefully be heading to a Galway company to be converted to a digital format. I thought I had lost loads of early career stuff last year when I cleared out the attic and didn't find it, but today I got the bonus. I was clearing out the shed and found a suitcase stuffed full of old video tape. Surprisingly most of it wasn't infected with the dreaded mould. However I will have to treat it with respect once I try it in a tape deck.
I realise most won't have a clue what I'm on about, but I'm over the moon lads. A lot of footage on the old video tape shows a very different Ireland.0 -

Kitchenside...was really enjoying the soft night air outside but a pair of idiot cats were trying to nobble each other and shrieking in the hedge. I found a little bottle of Jo Malone pomegranate noir, which I was never that impressed by, but I sprayed a sot of it on my wrist and Im really enjoying the dry-down. Warm and sexy.Quite glad I tidiedthat particular cupboard earlier.Redneck Reject1971 wrote: »How in the world did you manage that?On a side note,you have lovely shaped ears,well aside from the injury,heh.
Hi
I wore a heavy pair of drop earrings overnight, a week ago. They enlarged my ear piercings. When I changed to small stud earrings, the butterfly backing clip on one earring got stuck in the piercing hole. The earlobe swelled and swallowed it up. I had to slice it out with a scalpel. It didn't hurt at all.
Thanks someone else once told me that 0 -

Grandeeod, I'm just looking at my DVD recorder under the Sky box. I’ve been holding on to it just in case
Feck it in the bin Poochie! Not worth a thing.:D USB all the way!
Up to my neck in TAPE, but watching Invaders from Mars 1953. Kind of feels great because the room has space to do both! Gonna buy a Sofa bed and sleep here.:D0 -

Bedside, chilling on my tablet.
Did an online yoga class this evening which was a great help in de-stressing me from being pulled every which way in terms of people looking for me to help them out and do them favors earlier on.
I reckon it’s gonna be an early night for me by my night owl standards. 0 -

Kowloon, that facemask is actually genius!! I'll see how it goes on Monday and if we're having trouble I'm definitely going to make that. I didn't watch the video yet so I don't know what the purpose was.. if it's just plastic so it's easily wipeable and reusable but that's perfect for my situation and deaf people who rely on lip reading. You just don't think of things do you. Hard to think outside of ourselves and when I'm saying 'everyone should wear masks', while I did think of people who maybe have sensory issues, the deaf community didn't occur to me.
As for a moment of clarity.. I think my gran is gone beyond that unfortunately. She had some in the early days but she's almost a full decade with dementia now so I don't hold out much hope but you never know.0 -

Thanks so much Bolgbui. I'm sorry you missed out on your trip. Having been to some Serbian weddings, which would be very similar, I can tell you with total confidence that you didn't miss much.....
Ok I can't keep that lie up, some of the best craic I've had, you missed a great time, I'm sorry!!!
