''Mr Dancys' Evening"

Hi, I picked Mr Dancy up at senior services at 4:pm,We arrived back here at Mr Dancys' home
around 4:25. He ate his supper at 5:30 and had his medications and is now resting in his favorite chair watching tv.Ilene Simmons

Dad went to Symphony

Not only did Dad say he wanted to die, but that he WOULD die that evening. However, he has always been predicting his death (in the last 20 years), so I tried to cheer him up by reminding him of that. Also I said that I would miss him, that I needed to take care of him, that he is a good example to other people, etc. I hope it helped him!

Dad and I attended the symphony on Sunday afternoon. I was able to get an inexpensive senior ticket in the handicapped area (with individual chairs) at the Stevens Center.

Dad did not have much reaction to the music, but he said he enjoyed it. And it was a nice walk (about a block). I may take him to the New Years Pops concert next year.

During the weekend I worked on the jigsaw puzzle, and watched Dad. We are eating more in the dining room so that we can watch TV. Also since Dad stays at the table for a while after I am finished eating, I can be in the same room with him and it seems more friendly.

Dad's Visit from the Go Program

The physician's assistant came to visit Dad today. She asked Dad some memory questions. She asked him to name some animals. He mentioned polar bear twice, bear, some others, then said Christmas Tree. twice He mentioned places he lived, Norfolk, Chicago, Washington. He said he liked Washington the best. The doctor may increase his Namenda. She said a normal dose was 2x a day. (He takes one dose a day). She also watched how he walked and seemed to think he walked fine.

It was a nice visit. The PA will come back again in six months.

Dad did fine last weekend. We went out to dinner on Saturday and had swordfish with bean salsa. Dad did not eat much of the fish, but he ate his carrots and cake and some of his salad.

However on Sunday he developed an uncontrollable diarrhea. Bettie stayed with him in the afternoon and he had another episode then. Later that evening he had a third episode. Dad said he wanted to die. But he did not look in any pain; however, the diarrhea must have been burning to say the least. (there must be something going on--I have an achiness in my abdomen as well, not sure if it is related or different, but I didn't have diarrhea, but constipation).

I did not give him his Senna last night, may withhold it one more evening.

He is eating okay this morning. Maybe I will serve him some chicken noodle soup for lunch. I am keeping him home from Senior Services to make sure he is alright.

Easter Weekend

Dad and I went to the Easter Mass on Sunday. The whole church was full! But by the end the seating at the back was more roomy!

We went to Jason and Ashley's house and Grandpa gave Collin an Easter Basket. Then I went outside with Collin and helped him find the boiled eggs. Then I hid the plastic ones and he had fun finding them. Collin's other grandfather Irwin hid some candy as well, a lot around Jason't car!

Then Ashley and her sister Jennifer prepared a brunch with Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, a variety of muffins, sausage gravy, fried potatoes, Monkey bread, French toast casserole, fresh pineapple and strawberries! Dad wasn't eating much, but just let him sit and he finally finished the whole plate!

We then went home and had some food from the dining hall: lamb, sqaush, green beans, Mashed potatoes. Dad picked at his food, but when we went back to his house he had some mixed nuts and chocolate.

Dad Weak Today

Dad has been in bed all day. Every time I try to help him up he just falls back into bed. He is hurting but I don't know what exactly.

He didn't eat dinner, just some pecan pie and nothing today, just water.

I left a message for Dr. Lichstein. Also the nurse did not come last week--I thought she was scheduled to come. I called the Bayada nurses and Barbara was going to call Theresa and find out what is going on.

Ilene should be here. She can monitor him tonight and see if he improves. I also asked Suzie to drop by after work if she is up to it.

Drive with Dad

I drove down to see Jason's new house with Dad (about 60 miles). Jason wasn't home--out getting his TV screen fixed. One of the remote controls for the Wii system got thrown at the screen and tore it a bit. I guess those games can get violent! It is nicely sodded in the front with straw in the back that will hopefully grow grass really soon. Inside it is airy and nice with a small bedroom next to front door that will be used for computer room. There is a nice master bath with a very large tub! Not sure if it is a hot tub or not. The toilets are lower than Dad's though, so he was surprised when he started to sit down. I was too!

When we got back Dad was too tired to get up and eat dinner. He barely ate 1/2 of a pecan pie. I hope he is okay. Maybe he is coming down with flu or just tired, not sure.

I hope the ride did not tire him; I thought he would enjoy the change of scenery. Oh well.

Dad Talks About Mom

Dad wanted to know where Mom was. He had just talked to her yesterday! Anyway it was a difficult conversation, because he kept getting his words mixed up but anyway after a while he went back to the couch and said how "embarrassed" he felt that he had forgotten Mom had died!

Dad seemed a little depressed and I was really tired from helping Jason and Ashley pack, so I didn't get Dad off to bed like I should have. He spent the night in the chair. I woke up at 4 am and was more energized to get Dad ready for bed. Then I went back to bed as well and he and I both slept soundly for 4 hours.

I am making fried eggs and bacon this morning for a change from cereal. I like to do that once a week.

Dad's Weekend

Dad had a nice weekend.

Bettie watched Dad on Saturday so I could go to exercise class. When I got back home Dad was already asleep at 8 p.m.

On Sunday we went to church. Afterwards we had the buffet at the dining hall. Dad was mad when I suggested he eat his dessert. So I decided it was time to leave. We spent the afternoon watching football and playing miniature bowling with Collin at my house. Then a pizza dinner and cake for dessert.

Dad got up about two in the morning and came to my room. He talked about something and finally went back to bed.

Today Dad goes to Dr. Southard, dermatologist to check his skin for pre-cancerous growths. Then to Senior Services for the day.
