9/9 DAKOTA AMPS 381 He wants Chimichangas!

[Squeaky and KT (GA)]

Good morning World! Welcome to our home! Last Condo

DAKOTA
AMPS 381

I should have done a condo yesterday - he had a better AMPS... ohmygod_smile This had food in it, I heard him eating about +11. The bounces are lessening but we're not to where I want him to be yet...hopefully we'll get there soon. He's being absolutely silly, out and about more, talks more, stalks my dinner plate for pork chops - last night it was my chimichanga! Just look at this silly boy scoping on my plate:



Dad has had several good days lately - they've cut out some of his morning meds helping him be more alert while Mother is there. She's taken quite a few things for them to do as well as for him to do by himself. He's never been a 'crafty' person, his hands don't work right anymore so it's hard to find things he would enjoy doing. He was an OUTSIDE person, he could find all sorts of things to do outside but nothing sedentary. Many times he can't hear TV so that's not much of a 'time filler' but he does enjoy some of the old shows that he's seen so often he knows the words. They're finally figuring out a routine that works for both of them - Mother goes 5 days a week and rests 2 days a week.

We have a huge THANK YOU for today - our Flagstaff Angels, Liz/Anne/Zener/Tillie struck again...sent us a gift that let us fix our front door that fell off it's hinges this weekend. It's been there for 35 years so guess it just got tired....today is 'fix the door' day! We've been 'petting' it for a while but 'petting' only goes so long.

Our big garage circulating fan kicked the bucket last night - good thing summer is almost over. We're also going to take it down and see if we can get it to start again for a few more weeks but I doubt it. It's been 'chirping' for a while...if it's not one thing, it's another around here.

Thoughts and prayers for all those needing them today. If you missed Polly's SRT condo yesterday, check it out - it's hilarious!

BIG HUGS and YARD DANCE!!!

I don't blame you, Roc Doc. I love chimis, too!

How lovely that he is more active and social and just being silly - my favorite thing about cats! It means he's feeling well. I hope that continues!

Great news about your DF - I'm glad they were able to back the meds down a little. I know what you mean about finding things to keep him interested. We had the same problem with my Dad. Does he like listening to the radio or music? Maybe some headphones would help. I'm glad your DM is getting some rest, too.

Sending lots of healing vines for your DF.

So what if yesterday's numbers were a little lower, it's so great to her the Doc is feeling good and being a silly cat. Good news too on DF. Good luck on getting the door fixed and I hope nothing else goes wrong for awhile.

That is great to hear Doc is feeling better and happy! I love chimichangas as well!! :lol: Sending continuing prayers for your DF and DM and well, all of you! :YMHUG: :YMHUG: I know what you mean about not being a crafty person, not many men are! And even so, Parkinson's limits that sort of movement- hope being alert helps him out and your mom doesn't get too worn out trying to entertain him.
