Good News- Hubby got a hospital bed to make life a little easier for him/ Bad news -We have progressed to needing a hospital bed.
The V.A. supplied the new bed AND a bed table / The bed requires special sized sheets
They make special sized sheets!! / They don't sell them at Wal Mart, bummer.
They sell special sized of sheets at Penneys!! / They only had girly style in stock for that size.
It's fun to see Hubby sleeping on what I consider teen girl sheets / Hubby doesn't have a "cute" blanket to match ;-)
I can order more solid color sheets that are more fitting for a 74 yr old man / They will be dull.
Finally rearranged the bedroom furnishing enough times to make room for everything and safely move around/ Rearranging threw Hubby into a state of serious confusion. : /
Told Hubby I would move back into the bedroom for sleeping. He was very pleased with that decision and said he was lonely sleeping in there. / No bad news here. :)
This is dementia, it's not just a memory problem. My husband was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia in Oct 2007. This is our story. The ups and downs, the sorrows and joys. A non clinical view of living the Lewy life. Our story ended Feb 11, 2014. Lewy Body dementia hasn't been cured yet so until it is, this blog will be timeless in it's approach to caregiving, love and faith. It's a daily approach to those things.

When my youngest son was small, the Dr. wanted us to put plaid sheets on his crib. I ended up sewing a set myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad hubby misses you at night. {{HUGS}}
Hi Linda :)
ReplyDeleteNow I am very curious.
Why did the DR want the baby to have plaid sheets?
It sure did make me smile when Hubby told me he missed me :)
Hope you are doing well. I think of you often especially during the Holidays.
Remember you are being prayed for :)
