I was cleaning up photos from this month when I came across one I forgot to post. I took a new path in the dark and sighted this. It appears to be a stump chainsaw carved into a bear with an offering of pine cones at its feet. As to why, I have no idea. #inthewoods #beartotem #walkinginthedark https://www.instagram.com/p/CUAPFcrLDe9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today has been a good day! David didn’t need his wheelchair for our lunch walk around the marina, and he was able to read without too much difficulties not one but two engaging booklets he received in the post. It helps that he was on the front cover of one ( the Sept/Oct newsletter from DEEP the uk network of Dementia Voices) and he featured in the podcast that came alongside the other (the 5th edition of @museumoflondon Creative and Connected). Link to the podcast which is a lovely bedtime story for young and old in my bio! However I am always baffled as to what makes him feel so much better some days compared to others. Is it the fact that I moved the pills a bit later today? Is the oxytocin released from feeling a sense of belonging helping? Is it just his body finding a temporary way to fight back against the onslaught of dementia? It is frustrating when you just don’t have a clue what is actually working even temporarily to make your loved one feel better. I am pretty sure the health professionals don’t have a much better clue about the causal link here. It took so long to have some kind of diagnosis at the first place and it has changed quite a few times over the last 5 years. So we will keep on rejoicing over the little victories and keep advancing half blinded, keeping all the bright colours lighting up our path. 🌟It’s been a good day today🌟 #dementiacare #walkinginthedark https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2J5IWnMo0/?igshid=bvkr9zsr79cw
