Great to see my school chum and her husband today. The 3 of us were in high school together so lots of happy stories. Our HS reunion was this past July but W wouldn’t go and I couldn’t leave him alone. (S&R offered he could stay at their home but we knew he would want to go home after a few hours.)

Sadly W didn’t remember them and although awake, wouldn’t come out to visit. I knew it was best for him but another first.

Seems all sense of right or left, up or down and generally everything is going down the tube.

I am the type of person who “needs to know”. What does this mean in terms of where we are? Does it come back? We see the specialist Nov.21 – he’s very kind but usually it’s a visit of generalities because I wonder if anyone really knows.

Last night (at bedtime) he wondered if Buddy had enough food and water – then searched the ensuite to check. The food has never been there so it upsets me – wondering what is not processing.

But, and it’s a huge but – he is so funny and kind. The biggest blessing thru all of this. I can’t imagine dealing with Alzheimer’s and a difficult personality. The spec. said W may never become difficult. Music to my ears.
