get people to send healing thoughts and prayers to Jessy's husband (read all 26 entries…)

Interesting observation this weekend . . .  — 10 months ago

We had sleepover company on Saturday night. They had some delays on the road and did not arrive till very late, maybe 8:00 p.m. We ate dinner and talked until midnight, and I tucked in a very tired hubby.

The next morning, our guests left before he woke up.

Later, when I mentioned the guests to him, he said he had no memory whatsoever of their being there. I was surprised, because usually when we have guests, he will remember the next morning, though it often takes a bit of prompting.

But I figured something out, and it makes sense. If he does something when he is really tired, he is less likely to remember.

On another front, I have written before about his poor orientation to place. So imagine my elation when he said the other day, “We are in Georgia, aren’t we?” When I asked him,
“What is this place we are in?” he said, “It’s our normal place, isn’t it?” I said, “Yes, it’s our house.” So often, he has thought is was a hospital or someone else’s house. Yay for knowing he is home!

Aaaaw

sometimes my father needs some spurtin on with his memories, so I take a lot of pictures,... – looking at them helps him to put things in order.
Thinking of getting him a digital frame for his birthday, so he gets a thousand reminders of what he has been up to a day :)

It's wonderful

that Nick knows he’s home now.

Just seems as if it must rest his spirit—hopefully he feels more settled/rooted after being discombobulated for so long.

Hugs, you lovely person.

Yes, especially since

Nick has always been such a homebody.

Thanks, and hugs to you too, dear Ruth.
