There is nothing funny about having dementia or caring for a loved one with dementia.
Yet there is nothing more welcome to patient or carer than a hearty laugh.
I devise amusing (to me) ways of looking at our plight. I picture Lewy as a roller-coaster (as it is most regularly described) on and off the rails. Come to think of it, that’s an intensely scary image and not at all funny.
Oh, well.
Burt still loves to make people laugh, although today was not one of those blissful days. I cherish his attempts (generally successful) and welcome his engagement with our world.
Here’s hoping this leg of our roller-coaster journey continues in an upward direction long enough to celebrate his upcoming milestone birthday with friends!
I’m also hoping we have some love and laughs as we roll along!
this is our life
