How Kay thinks

Kay surprised me twice today. When people meet Kay for the first time and may not have had much experience with dementia I tell them she is unable to have a two way conversation. I found out today that she can hold a two way conversation. It just depends on what the subject is. Kristina our granddaughter called today because she received our picture taken for her upcoming wedding on Mar. 24 and got to talking to Kay about weddings and babies and so on . I learned later that Kristina learned to sew with with Kay. Kay talked in such a way I was amazed. She still had the memory problem and asked the same question over and over. She wrote down the dates but could not remember she had written them down. But to be able to ask questions she had was entirely different when just talking about normal things. If she comes up to me she can not say what is in her mind. She still remembered today that she was handicapped because later she came in to the kitchen and was trying to tell me she could not talk. I found out that she really meant she could not convey what really was on her mind when talking to Kristina. She was very quiet for some time. She is still thinking about it I think as she seems still very quiet. This is really disturbing to me to know these things affect her. Most dementia sufferers don't realize their condition but Kay does so that bothers me. I hate to see her in that condition. Now that I know Kristina sews and is making her wedding dress I know what I can do with Kay's sewing shears. I have been wondering what to do with them because Kay would not use them for anything but sewing. I thought she had Wiss but these are Fuller Brush. I will look for the Wiss and send them too if I can find them
