There are a few medications I am on that cause one to gain
weight, Lyrica being one of them, but needs much in my case. I
didn't realise you had completely stopped it, Linda and I don't
believe you have been on it Moira, not that I recall anyway.

We had a wet and cold weekend here. On Saturday morning I went
up to see May, she didn't know who I was really, but knew that I
was familiar to her......it's hard to explain really and that is
as close as I can get to it. We had a garbled conversation and I
had absobloodylutely no idea what she was talking about, but I
agreed or whatever and it seemed to be the right response, bless
her. Then Saturday afternoon I went to Kmart to get some ne
containers to use in my pantry as I wanted to rearrange
it....again!!!!!
Yesterday we went down to the Farmers Markets, in the rain.
Thank goodness most of it is under cover. I bought all my fruit
and vegetables, which will last a lot longer and some chicken.
When I got home I stripped my bed and washed my sheets as I knew
I would be going out earlyish this morning and I rearranged my
pantry with the new containers. It's not quite finished, Belinda
has a label making machine and I gave her a list of the names I
wanted and she will make them up for me. I was exhausted by
yesterday afternoon, so I had an early shower and got into my
PJs [emoji4]

AH I was thinking about May the other day ... just that we had
not heard anything lately .. but its good to hear she is still
getting along ..... in her own way
(((((((((((((((((((((((May))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Remind me
How old is she now ? I don't know anyone like May but I have
heard tell how they talk and talk about nothing really and you
do have to just agree with them. Thinking about it... that was
how Dink ended up ... talking rubbish but we would nod and
agree. Sad really but Dink was also mentally .... whatever they
call it !!! :(
I wish we had a Farmer's Market here but even at the monthly
Waverley Market ... they do not have that much vege. stuff for
sale. It's more a Craft Market.
So you had a BUSY Sunday !!! It is supposed to be a Day of
Rest :)

May will be 81 in September, she doesn't look it though. It's so
hard to watch someone with dementia, they just sort of fade
away, not physically, but the person that they were slowly
disappears. One of the other ladies in there, Therese, wanted to
walk outside, so May decided we would go with her, but only to a
certain spot and then come back. May had hold of my hand and
linked it through her arm and when we got to the designated
spot, she began to turn. Therese wanted to got further, so she
grabbed my other hand and May took a tighter hold on me to keep
me with her. It was like a tug-a-war with me being the rope
[emoji23] May won and we walked back to go inside in the warm,
thank goodness. Some visits are just so bazaar!!!!!!
I love the Farmers Markets, but it's best to get there early to
get the best vegetables etc. I store them all in containers in
the fridge, which helps keep them longer as well.

OH Help that was a bit of an experience Darien ..... having two
.. oldies .. pulling you in different directions .. it would
make you want to run. !!
I wonder also if May will remember you visiting :) Do Gail and
Rab visit very often ?
Have you mentioned Therese before because that name is familiar
... being my Confirmation name or similar, mine is Theresa but I
had a mate at school called Therese :)
I do always have a lot of vegies in the fridge as I do like my
vegies.

No, May won't remember me visiting as a couple of times Gail has
asked her if she had any visitors and even if it's the same day,
May will say No. Gail visits her Mum all the time, Rab not as
often and Robert never!!!!!
I may have mentioned Therese before as she too has been there a
while and I also notice a sharp decline in her mental state now
as well.
Nothing like farm fresh veggies [emoji846]

How good is Gail then and I do also wonder if May knows who she
is too when she visits ? At lease May is in a safe
environment and is being looked after so it must make Gail feel
better to not be worrying about her Mum being home alone :)

There is no way that May could have been left at home alone now
and she is in a safe place. It's such a sad way for anyone to
end their life and May was such a lovely and loving person. I
know Gail finds it hard and she also feels guilty for May being
where she is. She knows it's silly to feel guilty, but one can't
help one's thoughts really.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((Gail)))))))))))))))))))))))))))) She
has done her best over the years so now May is in the best and
safest place for her to be at this time in her life
((((((((((((((((((((((May)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
