What got into Kay?

 Kay seemed to have a real good time.  I get this impression every time
 she goes out with us.  They had her fixed up good..  I had told them she was coming and many were very interested in what I had been going to see for the past year and a half.  I don't know what they expected.  She needed the close care to guide her to her seat.  We were being watched very closely by some.  Others said she was very beautiful.  She said one word. I dont remember what it was  She did nod when a yes was requested. So she heard and understood. It was a good Thanksgiving dinner.  We took her back and when we got her to her room she wanted to sit on my lap.  OK with me for a few minutes.   She did not want to stay in the room so we took her into the hall and down near the TV room.  There  we had the Caregiver take her inside as we wished her goodbye before it might register negatively on her.  But because she seemed happy and what happened I think she had a good time.   Tomorrow when I have more time I will  see if she wants to sit on my lap again.  It was probably something that came about because  of her trip out although I am sure she will do it if I ask her to do it.

Upcoming dinner tomorrow

 They must have had a late breakfast as Kay and a couple others were still sitting at the tables when I got there about 9:20.  I sat down beside her and she looked at me unsmiling.  Just looking not seeming to comprehend what she was seeing. I didn't know if I should leave her there or take her for a walk.  I decided to take her to her room after a short walk to see if there was any change.  I got my walker in position and she got up with my help.  but immediately sat down again.  But after a couple tries we went for a short walk then into her room to see if she recognized the truffles when I brought a wrapped on out.  She immediately recognized it. She walked so incredibly slowly.  So I watched TV and held her hand while she dozed.  I think some times she goes to her room and lays on the bed with me just to please me.  For instance today when I got up to leave she also got up and wanted to leave.  Whether because she wanted to be with me or tired of the four walls I don't know.  But I have evidence from other times that leads me to think this.  I had a care giver direct her into the activity room after I told her goodbye,  That hopefully got he attention off me while I escaped. A caregiver told me today that she finds her way to the dining room without help now which is amazing.  I also have not found her in other bedrooms either for quite some time.  Tomorrow we have family guests at our turkey dinner.  Bob is coming down and we will go over and   bring Kay back for dinner here.  This is causing quite a stir.  They have know I have been going over to see her every day for a year and a half  so they are no doubt curious to what she looks like.  Bettern most of them here you can bet.  I printed out our wedding picture and will have it standing on our table.
