Hello to all!
In the words of Johny Cash "My name is Sue"
John puts things up & reads things for me on internet because I am almost blind!
I had major events with strokes in Dec 2013 and life can be very variable. I had a tremendous team of people re-educate me on how to cope with the physical limitations I received! The dementia side of things is a bit different, I have good & bad days!
On a good day I am with it and things make sence (like today) but I admit days of the week don't realy happen anymore my short term memory is terrible! When I have breakfast which is really brunch John reminds me its Saturday! Some body put a poem up on here yesterday it describes so well how I feel at times. On bad days I go off into world's that seem so real. I went to a party with a man who's name I heard but had never met! John quite often says "Yes dear" it's his signal to me in front of others I am away with the fairies! He used to try to tell me real life was different to what was happening in my brain. When like now we type things on the computer John is dyslexic with his own problems but he calls me his dictionary, spelling I can still do and realy well, maths I am afraid has gone, I have also lost my little bit of French and can not seem to regain it!
I love what John reads me from this site from you all right down to April planting bacon. I wondered if she fried the strawberries, it makes perfect sence to me! I also had a perfect picture of a bacon tree with rashers of bacon hanging from the branches.
Such is my life and brain!
Sue!
