Monday, April 7, 2014 You are dreaming....

Well want to get this in before i forget, that's what mac said when i told him why we are both so tired this morning...you are dreaming....Well he was dreaming, dreaming we were on a boat or a train and he had to get off....this has been going on for the past three nights...yuck....no sleep till about one a.m. 

When i got on my emails this morning, one of my blog readers sent me an email  comment, that he thought the Teapot, was an excellent place..and so it is..but I seldom check what I wrote and wondered o.k. so what did i write about the Teapot,  decided to check it out...oh yes good what i wrote is true - and what the heck, seems that two of my paragraphs got switched to the end...after I said g'nite...oh well..it goes with the way both mac and I feel this a.m.  TIRED.

I also noted that we seemed to be so contented...well it seems we're always  so contented and boom, we are into a kind of surreal experience at night...should just not mention when things are going well..and not be so quick to think o.k. we're on a great plateau here...ha. In fact, I didn't mention or maybe i did,  that I have some pills prescribed for times when mac is agitated before bed, so that he sleeps well...I gave him one, or tried to when he was agitated a couple f weeks ago,  and he just spit it on the floor, so that didn't work, ...so the next time I noted that he was not a happy camper before bedtime, i managed to give it to him with his usual pill and the night was great...for BOTH of us...so went online to check this pill out..it is Risperdal...yikes..there was a big warning...not to give this pill to Elderly Dementia patients  - hello - that is precisely what Mac is for heaven's sake...

So time to check this out with the doc, so I did...Dr. Borad our doc here, said, "no worry the amount prescribed is fine, and i should definitely use it - especially if i want to sleep."..  but didn't feel good about it, and the warning is in a kind of a square which dances through my head, ....can cause death !!!!....so didn't use it..and wondered what the heck is wrong with adtivan, or some pill like that, didn't think to ask...So today we are going for a walk, (what's new) and I will check this out with the pharmacist....as I do want to sleep...and for sure i wish i were dreaming, that mac was walking around and talking about going out...from eleven to god knows what time in the morning.

On a good note, we did have such a good evenings the past couple and he was so happy to talk about playing lacrosse, he actually pretended to have a lacrosse stick and jumped to catch the ball swung himself around and said "pop into the net." discussed hockey with our downstairs neighbour, muriel, - she asked if he knew the Harvey family...also Gump Worsley...well turns out he remembered Doug Harvey,(Canadiens hockey player of old)...and went on to talk about  the days at the forum...how if a player had a stick that was cracked he (Mac) was there with a good one - the player just threw the old one down - Mac had the new one in the players hand so quickly, picked up the useless one, which really at times was o.k. - what a great time he had talking about those days.how he himself played for RCA Victor ..so with that in mind, i'm going to have a good day today...thinking positive really works... so bye now...
