Hi exhausted 2015
hope you had a decent night's rest, and the ibuprofen helps - your dad too, though sounds as though his nights are unsettled; so hard
dad had a lovely visit with his friend - I got grumpy face but as soon as I said his friend's name he was beaming - the carers saw him so happy too and we all had a teary moment - sadly he's also sundowning quite badly, later he was very distressed wanting to go home and saying he felt awful so the senior gave him a prn and I'm afraid I sneaked away - the change in hour and light in the evenings are upsetting him, I think, which links back to this being the time of year which brought on his wandering last year - just got to keep on keeping on
so Rob, to answer your question from the other thread, life is up and down; but there was real joy for dad yesterday, and I enjoyed a drive in my new car - I hope you both had a moment to savour
Heidi, I was thinking of you; I'm sure you all did your lovely dad proud; I hope there were smiles and laughter among the tears, and the warm memories are prevailing
Gill, funny to think we may meet in actuality - this virtual world feels very real in its different way - you beat me to it Rob - tasty
good day to all
