I have mentioned Burt’s enjoying people as a highlight of his disease. He has grown more outgoing over most of the course of his dementia.
During the first phase of his recent dip, he stopped engaging as he had. Part of this is because he doesn’t recognize the neighbors as he used.
Lately, he’s back to wanting more connection. On our trip to the doctor, he spoke to passersby and had a long chat with the fellow who always helps transport us to appointments.
One of our recent outings was a Teatime for Caregivers that we went to. He flirted with our social worker and loved the lemon squares. We both had a good time.
My good time was enhanced by seeing glimmers of Burt in good form.
this is our life
