Our Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson disease journey

-

 

Been so quiet here ever since we got back from the neurologist. Hubby was to start taking a double dose of one of his medications. So his body is trying to adjust to it. When at the doctors she gave him a couple tests. One had questions I don't remember all the questions but one was what year it is and hubby said 2021. One was who I was and who Val was, and he got them right. He was asked how old he was, and he said 75 he is 73. What is 4 - 3. Questions like those. Which showed her his childhood cognitive awareness is still intact. Which he should not have problems with bowel issues or hygiene as the diseases progress. Things he was taught as a child. A friend dropped off a book called "I'm Betty" so I have been reading and studying it. Today again hubby has been in bed a lot. So, getting used to the idea of being alone. I go check on him all the time to make sure he is still breathing but all is good. Just another step in this journey.

Removing and replacing our old pathway

-

 We moved into our home about 15 years ago at that time we decided to place a walkway down through the yard to a firepit.  Our family loves to sit around the backyard fire and roast hotdogs and marshmallows.  We haven't done much to the walkway except spray it once in a while with weed kill but today we decided it was time to remove and repair.  So we began to dig out the bricks..it was amazing how some were buried and some were broken.  They all were beginning to sink down deeper and deeper. There was a lot of moss that had even grown over the top of them.  But hubby and I worked together and got them all dug up.  The pathway went from the deck to the firepit ring.  All of these bricks have been recycled we would watch for free ones.  Sometimes just driving down the road there would be bricks with a sign take all you want.  So some of these bricks have different says on them.  We also enjoy using our dutch ovens....

Vintage 1960 "Sunny Suzy" ironing board

 I purchased this little ironing board, with it's original cover and iron from the lady who purchased it in 1960. She had it put away for her daughter who never got to use it.  So it was kinds sad for her to sell it but I just fell in love with the bright colors of it.  The legs are a little stiff to put up and down, and a little tarnish in places but just a fun little item.  This was back when little ones used to watch their momma's iron.  Not to much of that being done now-a-days, but a great item. This one is newer and I find it's just a great little one, it also comes with an extra holder for the iron.  So sweet and they both can be folded down flat. These will be on sale on a couple web sites and also if still available at the Nez Perce Fair Building on February 16, 2012 at our first vendor showing for the year....
