visit day after Thanksgiving

She was eating a truffle here

I am very lonesome for Kay tonight.  The visit went well today.  The best it has been for a long time.  The shuttle was nearly on time and took me there without other stops.  Which meant I had an hour and a half there.  The shuttle for the return trip was on time and took me straight home. When I got home I took a walk over to the steep hill to wear off the b/g if it was elevated.  That really did the trick.  But as far as the visit with Kay was concerned I  first saw her coming down the hall so I immediately took her to our favorite spot with the iron tables and chairs. Unfortunately our sitting there has encouraged other patients to sit there too so I took Kay to the end of the hall next to her room and brought a couple chairs from the dining room and put them there instead for us to sit on. I took a look a little later and the iron chairs and table were clear so I took her there and gave her the treats I had not given her at the other place. Time really goes fast and by then I took her back to her bed for the last of the visit. Everything was routine but who knows why I am more lonely that normal.  I have subsecibed to a dementia forum so see how the others are getting along.  So far  I think I am getting along pretty well.  Too bad that at this time I am not able to be with her all the time and enjoy what remaining time I have and the remaining time that she is still able to recognize me and family all the time. This is the time I should be with her.  I would be too if I could convince the family that I could handle living on my own.  Then I could get closer to her and spend more time at her place.
