Beautiful days of walking, talking, and remembering the past. BUT, it is getting clearer to me that mac is really not remembering very much these days...He is so quiet when we are out with others and unless something springs into his mind he hardly says boo. Today at Sandbags...one of our friends who i think may have the starting of Alzheimers was so happy to see Mac. His wife tells me that he only goes to sandbags - (by the way if i haven't mentioned sandbags before, it is a game we play at the Seniors Club on Fridays in the Fall and Winter.) Anyway, this man only wants to go to play sandbags if Mac is there, and sad to say Mac just sits and watches the game hardly answers anyone's comments. Of course too, he is now very hard of hearing which with others talking around and a man calling out the bingo stuff, it surely doesn't help. In any case number one he doesn't remember well, and two. he is much quieter than ever, and I can see he is weaker and walking slower....
Thus I called and put our names into anothr seniors place - the waiting lists are 2 to 3 years in these places, which suits me as i'm not keen to move at all. We visited our friends Wednesday - at their residence,it is a beautiful - high rise - in Montreal, and really state of the art...but again I really do not want to move to that type of residence, my thoughts are more into near our river in Chateauguay, and NOT a high rise..elevators are not my fave things.
Then my daughter Valerie has offered to have us move near her in her 31/2 room apt. but I'd have to let her know by Dec...well that's really too soon. So i've talked to Mac, and of course he does not want to move at all, he loves our home, as do i...sooo much to think about...
But in the meantime, life goes on and we will live it day by day and moment by moment. so this is the moment to say g'nite.
