Taking Care of Out Mothers--We have Afton with us this week.  We took her for a walk with us to Harmons.  It was fun.  She enjoyed the walk.  We need to take her out more in her wheel chair.  It has just been really hot.  Mom is recovering from her cancer surgery on her leg.  Here is a picture of her at the plastic surgeons.  Afton is going towny 101.  She is amazing, but has been having mini strokes, which have robbed her of her sharp mind.  Mom has had dementia for a long time.  They don't have any short term memory and now are loosing parts of their long term memory  It is hard to watch and so frustrating for them.  I have learned a lot about dementia and the key is to ease their anxiety.  If you can do that life is better, but it is almost impossible to ease.  Here are pictures.
