What a day, although we went through just what we would be doing today before we went to bed last night apparently it didn't stay in Mac's memory, so that meant that he did not know he would be going to a luncheon at the church hall with his companion from the A. assoc - Helen. Bright and bushy tailed she arrived all keen to go and as I was unable to join them, because of a prior plan, my ticket was to be used by her boyfriend. Well rather than disappoint her I called our son Les who filled in the breach at lunch hour, allowing Mac to have his wish..which is to stay home.
So have made a new rule, although I know he can't remember for even 10 minutes; sometimes he does So now I will tell him the night or day before an event or activity, then write it at the same time. Then the next day although he may not remember he may not be so crabby, and say - You never told me before, i had no inkling about this etc etc. Have already written what will take place tomorrow, we will be going to my doc, as i told him, also wrote it on a sticky note and pasted it on fridge as he watched. Although he has no problem with going in to town to see the doc, this will set a precedent for times when it may not be something he dislikes to do, but has agreed to do it. Tomorrow when we have to rise and shine at 7;30, i will show him the note and say remember you agreed - no problem getting up early etc..here is the note we wrote. Wonder how that will work and will he REMEMBER..probably not.
Today - only a short walk, as it was not a great day for a walk..we decided to watch an old movie. Blue Skies with Astaire and Bing Crosby...one of the songs put all the above in my mind, and that is "You keep coming back like a song..a Song that keeps saying Remember...the sweet used to be that was once you and me keep coming back like an old memory...well thankfully it's still sweet to be with Mac.
