New sure fire method to teach Kay!

 Made good time going to see Kay today although I was tired.  

She was in the next room on someone else's bed.  The caregiver showed me as I suppose she refused to get off the bed when he must of tried to mover her back to her bed.  People in her condition can get obstinate.  However she readily moved when I came in and told her that was not her bed.  She was just on top not in it.  

I have figured out another better system to get her to remember her bed.  Now when I find her in the community room or other room I am going to show her the sack  the truffles are kept in because she knows it by sight now.  Showing she can remember things.   She will want one right then but  I will not give her one right then. I will take her to her room keeping the truffles visible.  She will have to go into the entrance to her room and make the correct decision to go to her bed.  If she chooses the wrong bed in her room I can entice her to the correct bed by sitting on it holding the truffle bag until she comes to her bed.  I know this will work over a period of time but I a m not sure she will find her bed if I am not there with truffles.  But I think I can get her to know where her bed is.  If she will continue to find it when I am not there is the big question.  I intend to do this for a substantial period of time until I am sure she knows which is her room and bed.  This will done like I taught her to anticipate the truffles at the iron furniture in the hall.  No memory is required, just repetition. I want to keep her from being put in the basement with very little outside light.  

I was there about an hour and a half all the time resting on her bed.  As she was in someone elses bed I suppose she was sleepy too so we just lay with her head on my breast all the time.  If I feel more alert next time we will do gigsaw puzzles.  She took my leaving very well with no hesitation about even agreeing that I would come back tomorrow. 

The lady in the bed next to Kay is never in her bed or even in her bedroom. She spends her time up somewhere else.  Like the community room or activity room.  But in spite of them telling her she is not moving out she continues to get things packed up to leave.  This is done with the assistance of the little talkitive guy.  He can talk up a storm but most of the time he drifts off into saying something that does not make sense.   He sounds very rational.  I think it may be him that somehow has talked her into getting things packed up and move out.  One day her bed was piled high with stuff that I don't know where it came from.  There doesn't seem to be enough stuff in her closet and chest of drawers to make the amount of stuff that was on her bed that time.  Today they were just getting started and all they had to put things in was a couple plastic bags.  So sad.  I don't know how long she has been there or if she has family that comes to visit her.  

 I I don't believe in Karma but it happens enough that someone else could easily believe in it. I don't say yes or no.   What do you expect of your future? Alone or with someone?
