Every evening with a few exceptions it is a different kind of abberation, either mac doesn't know me, or doesn't think i'm janet...or if we go out for a walk he is not too disoriented ...he may just wonder if we are in a train station...or later when in bed, ask the same question, are we in a train???Could be that since 32nd ave..is a very busy one, he can feel vibrations of trucks ..as he doesn't keep active around the house, nor does he have many distractions..so he may be more aware of that then i am.
.I'm trying to encourage him to see just what he can read these days...he gets many words but can't seem to see the logic of what he reads...pictures don't interest him...but a first; today, he actually sat and watched almost a whole 20 min of t.v. Dr. Oz of all shows...I still do crossword puzzles and ask him the words as i read them out loud, usually he says...don't know...but he still can surprise me and get a word here and there, or confirm a word that i say...and of course each time i start a puzzle he says they don't interest him anymore. So actually there is not too much he wants to do, or can do to interest himself, walks of course and music is still great, favourite classics and old pops and jazz...so i had the cd player ready for his person from CLSC today, but i decided to see if the picinic in the activity room was still going on, but no it had finished and virtual bowling with the t.v. was the main activity....So when the girl came - first time with this one, he said he would stay down in the activity room...surprise as he hates the bowling, says it makes too much noise. but since he opted to stay decided o.k. and left the two of them there....big mistake.
When i returned after only one and a half hours, he was livid...and in front of all the residents playing bowling, said, "I'm going to choke you" they kind of laughed nervously, trying to pretend he was fooling, but I said, hey, do you want to go upstairs...knowing he did of course. he got up and said,yes i'm never staying here again, and I'm going to get you for this...but as usual once the girl left, and he had himself settled in his chair, eyes closed...he soon got over it, and we ended up talking and watching t.v. as I mentioned...and so it all ended well...but i'm hoping for better days off in the next month, as the CLSC has offered to pay for our friend to stay so it will be the same person.every time...let's hope it works...
Now in bed positive that he is in his own bed and not on a train, he says he will listen to the t.v. news as i answer emails, and give the cat his nightly snack, which i better do as he is whining away right now, so g'nite.
