Dementia: Strictly Transformed

It took over an hour for the three of us to transform out lounge/bedroom yesterday morning.  It now seems far more spacious, with a dance floor emerging in exactly the right spot.  Maureen and I were too tired last night but I hoping that we will soon be ‘tripping the light fantastic’ in our new Dance Studio.  I have already dusted down the DVD’s to remind us of the steps in a first move to returning to our Social Dancing Group.

The other good news from yesterday is that I returned from an evening trip to Tesco with some remedies for Maureen’s sore mouth and tongue.  We now have a mouthwash that compliments the Gengigel gel recommended by our dentist during a previous outbreak.  I am  hoping that a softer toothbrush and Corsodyl toothpaste will help bring Maureen some relief and possible cure from what threatens to become a chronic condition.

We have cancelled today’s Carer Sit as we are planning a trip to Louth a small Market Town a short distance away.  When we have had enough of wandering around the shops we can visit nearby Hubbard Hills for a walk in beautiful surroundings.  If the sun comes out  we will be able to watch young children enjoying themselves in a stream that flows through the area.

I realise that it could be one of those days when the best laid plans fall by the wayside.  Maureen has already been stressing that she wants to ‘go home’ but for once has said ‘there is nowhere to go’:  so your guess is as good as mine as to where we will be by noon!
