Warm weather has come so I dragged mother out for a walk that I knew she would like once she was out. We went for a very long walk and then sat in the grass on a hillside. I encourage her to do this to keep her in shape, along with picking up sticks and tossing them. Another thing she enjoys is using a stick to whack dandelion seed heads. Then with a good hold on her arm, we hiked the steep hillside, taking breaks along the way. Resting on benches once ontop, we made our way back home.
Needless to say, I was completely exhausted and she was completely unaware of being tired.
She called me two hours later wanting to go for a walk.
Alzheimer's sucks.
She forgot the whole day.

But YOU didnt forget the day. She does, but the memory is there for you and that is important.Stimulation is so important and I bet she felt better breathing fresh air and maybe even slept some too. Hugs toyou kiddo I know it is a hard time.
