Not sure if I’ve ever mentioned using the shorter tennis socks for AD patients.

His longer socks were a source of frustration. Now he pulls these socks on with little help, as long as he gets them “started right”.

Bought new socks and shorts for him today, decided to wash them right away so put a load of darks in – I missed a Kleenex – how, I’ll never know as checked all the pockets. Maybe he had one stuffed in a shirt sleeve. It was enough of a mess that I’ll turn shirts inside out to check them from now on. Looks like it snowed in the laundry room. My mumblings got the attention of Buddy who is now wandering around like a molting goat – bit’s of white tissue clinging here and there.

So, if I’m not on for a couple days, don’t worry. The guys are bringing oak nosings tomorrow morn and guess who gets to stain them.

Plus, I’m labeling his new clothes and sorting what he needs.

Our home care schedule has been totally changed and I think it will work for the better – seems good. I didn’t request anything, she (RN) just made changes and asked if they would work for us.

There is much discontent with our health care system. So far we have never had an issue, in fact they seem to go “above and beyond” to help us.

Hope all is well in your world.
