Mr Dancy Update Wednesday

Upon arrival Mr Dancy was asleep. I was unable to get him to get up he was in a very deep sleep. I waited and tried again several times and he refused to get up so i just had to wait until he was ready and he did not get up to 12noon. I assumed that he did not sleep well and that was why he did not want to get up this was the first time he stayed in bed that long. After he got up he had lunch and then he went back to sleep. He did not want to go for a walk or play any activities.

Mr Dancy Update Tuesday

Upon arrival this morning Mr Dancy was awake. He began conversating immediately upon entering his room stating that someone invited him to a wedding and he needed me to assist him in preparation. He started talking about his wife and then started talking about someone invited him to a party and he needed me to help him get ready for that party and that conversation went on the majority of the day about going to a party. I think maybe he overheard the conversation of a party for Ryland and that was where all the party talk came from. I took him to the doctor for his flu shot and he talk the entire time we were there wanting to know what and why was he there and why did he need a flu shot and how many times are they suppose to be taken and was i getting one and why was i not etc. He was really himself today and finally after getting home he had lunch he went to sleep and i had a very difficult time getting him to move from that point on. He did seem to have a hard time walking today at the doctors appointment and continued to say that his shoes were making it hard for him to walk but it was not the shoes. Other than that i would say that he had a very wonderful day.
