Caruanas Cool Comments 1-15-15 ...On this day with 2 fifteens in it I started out for the nursing home in 9 degree weather and when I returned in the early afternoon it was a torrid 27. ...As I got off the elevator on Ruths floor one of the men residents was sitting in his wheel chair watching the traffic and shouted out Hes baaaack! I felt honored and appreciated his sense of humor. ...It has been over a week since I have seen my sweetie because of the flu quarantine. She was sitting in her wheel chair and she was so thin it seemed as though she took up only half the seat. She looked at me and it was as if she didnt see me. I did my best to cheer her up. One of the lady residents even urge her to smile but she didnt seem to have the strength. ...We did the same things we usually do from the morning chocolate to trying to see Lucy the cat who was a no show. When I left she tried to speak a sentence but it came out garbled. Her parting I love you sounded almost mechanical. It is impossible to know what, if anything, is going through her mind. She sits calmly and serenely and stares into space. I say this because you have asked to know and to somehow convey to my readers what Alzheimers is like. And what it is like for those who love they to stand by. Not helplessly for those of us who know the Lord have a mighty support system. ...God is giving grace to Ruth and to me and afterwards He has promise glory.
