We've had a very good day, walked all over as usual. A very important place on our walk was the BANK, Mac as well as many others with alzheimer's is almost obsessive about wanting to know about his bank account, his bank statement, his pension, his wallet, his change etc etc..believe me, there is more, but to my way of thinking it's important as they have so much they do not remember, and so much that is insecure, it is important to know that they have a safety net...money. Second important thing to Mac is the key to our house, and this is always such a problem as we seem to leave our keys lose our keys or lend them...I can't believe that at this moment, we have two sets of keys at two different homes, that is homes of our daughters, and not at our home. Yesterday, using a spare set, we managed or i managed to leave them on the seat of our friend's car...lucky we found them on the way home. So it's not surprising that he has a bit of a thing about keys.
Naturally I'm always happy when he remembers important things like money, and keys, as in when we go out he'll say, have you got the keys, have you got enough money....but I'll leave you with the happy item he remembered today...I was lying on the sofa reading my book, and Mac said "listen i have to tell you something important...'....i sat up and gave him my full attention, i love it when he remembers...so i said, "oh what's up"...he said ".I just remembered something....I don't think I kissed you this afternoon.'...
Well how important is that...and I'm so glad he remembered....g'nite
Mac remembers what's important!!
