Dementia!!!

My Grandma is one tough lady! So, we have known a long time ago that she suffered from dementia but just recently has it taken a big effect on her life. Beware if my grandma is in her demented upset mood do not get in her way because she might just hit you with her walker. Since her dementia has gotten to the red zone, where she doesnt know there is something wrong with her and she is being violent, we decided that the best choice for her was to send her to a hospital to help get her on some medication. It will help calm her anxiety and hopefully decrease her dementia without taking her spirit away. So, the next few weeks we will see how it all goes. Luckily, she still knows me and my mom but thinks her husband is alive. Let me just say with a disease like dementia you cant just be upset about it and let it bring you down. Yeah, it is sad to watch but it is something you just got to laugh at the stories she tells you because it is one of the best ways to cope with the situation.

Happy 95th Birthday Grandma

Grandma_95th_Birthday_09My Grandma is 95 today and she is still going strong. Even though her memory is not that great and asks me a hundred times what grade I am in she is still very witty. One lady who was at the brink of death and now is back to her strong self. She amazes me everyday how she went through so much and is where she is today. So, for her birthday we went to this wonderful Italian restaurant called Andreas. They have amazing food. I always get some sort of pasta because it is so good. Tonight I got gnocchi and it was delicious! I am stuffed. It was nice for my Grandma to get out. She enjoyed it so, so did my mom and I. Happy Birthday Grandma!

Ah, its been an overall a good day. No big drama at school and  nice celebration of my Grandma’s birthday. Could not ask for more in a day. It is time to relax. Time to blast some good music. Time to just enjoy the night before another day of school comes by way. Well, I hope you all enjoyed this Monday and found something positive about it and I will chitty chat with you all soon. Peace.
