It’s so good to see your Mom in this photo! She looks happy, relaxed, and the hat is just right.
My husband of more than 40 years is in the early stages of Alzheimer and I understand what it means to see the person you love getting a bit hazy in contours but we love them and do what we can with God’s help.
I get from your daily posts comfort and guidance, you feel like a friend.

Imagine that! A new Hat!

My computer is still down. I am still working on this teeny, tiny notebook that makes my eyes crossed… but I am able to get some things done - just a little more challenging.
Today, I went to see my Mom and we had a nice visit. It was a beautiful day so we were able to go outside. I had brought her a little hat so that she wouldn’t get sunburned on her face. She wore it for about ten minutes…pretty good! She was never a hat person.
I am reading a book called “The Anti-Alzheimer’s Prescription.” Only a little ways into it. but it is pretty good. The author, Vincent Fortanasce, M.D. shares about how to prevent getting Alzheimer’s. I do not know if this is what my mom has or not.. maybe I will know more as I read it. It reads very easily and I have learned a few new things already. I’m afraid though it is going to tell me to eat food I don’t much like. You know the healthy kind. This could be a challenge. A 30 day supply of vitamins usually lasts me several years.. I don’t have a lot of hope for myself. I’m also afraid it is going to tell me to exercise - both the mental and the physical kind. Maybe I should just check myself into the room next door to my mom now. . .
One thing I know it does state.. is getting enough sleep. So…... on that cheery note… talk to you tomorrow!
