Our Lewy Body dementia and Parkinson disease journey....knee drained

-


Our house is a cyclone. Boxes everywhere, furniture missing....everything on walls down...yes a cyclone. We are now closing on August 5th...could be sooner as this is a cash purchase but August 5th gives me more time. Good news is...........hubby is feeling so much better. I think it's a combination of several things..one he was taken off his blood pressure meds which he has been on for years. But his new meds also can lower the blood pressure and his amlodipine can also cause swelling in extremities so they took him off. They will evaluate it in a few weeks so will see. But they also drained fluid from his knee and gave him a steroid shot. Goodness what a change. He feels better and his personality is a lot better....a total win win...we still make trips over to the house so he can get used to the area. I have a fear when we do move and if I leave hubby may wonder off to find our old house. So will have to wait and deal with that as the days come...

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....

Our Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson Disease journey

  I don't know if any of you facing these diseases have these problems, but I need to talk with the neurologist for some answers...mercy. Hubby has this crazy idea that he needs to search the house for things. I purchase a new vacuum because the belt broke on the old one. I got the same one but decided to keep one for downstairs and one for upstairs. So I put the old one way back in the furnace room until I can fix it and the new one up front easy to get to. Hubby is determined to climb back there and always get the old one. He moves the new one to get to the old one. I hide some shampoo that I wanted to give to daughter as it doesn't work good for hubby and I. He finds it somehow and starts using it. I hide some spray paint its the kind that will change a object into a mirror...he found it and sprayed it on lumber in the yard. Mercy...drives me crazy. Just saying....I told him we are going to Nampa on Thursday...to see the doctor. He got really mad that night at me b...
