Time stands still , but the days keep going.

After visiting Friday I thought I should sit down and just jot down some of my thoughts.  I don't think Alice knew me when I came in the front room from the kitchen.  She seemed happy I was visiting , but seemed to be off in a distance.

She was confused much of the time while I was there and kept asking me when she needed to leave.  I told her this was her home and she would be spending the night here in her own bedroom. 

Alice if having a hard to eating anything that takes a lot of chewing.  She had eaten a half of a hamburger sandwich when I told her to spit it out and start over as it had to be all dried out.
She is like a little Chipmonk.  She is looking so frail.  She does like ice cream and sweets and soda.  Irv is still getting her to drink Ensure.  She is down to about 143 now.

Wish I could loose weight , but not like her.  She is always forgetting her cane in the bathroom or kitchen. 

She fell last week and broke her dentures.  Thank God she did not break any bones.  She didn't remember doing that either.

It sure makes me sad to watch her going down hill, but there is nothing we can do about it.  She does not talk much anymore when I go out to visit her.  So sad as she was such a talker.  LOL.
