Hello all,

It was thursday, day26 yesterday, and I had 2hrs with grandma, showed her photos, tried to tell who are in the photos, basically it was me and grandma and grandfather...she tried to look at me, then to the photo and back to me for several times. Then I showed her a children's tale, cats, mouse, dog cartoon figures,and she turned the pages as I was talking about the mice, dog and cats. We still dunno how much she can take-in, but she seemed interested and was turning the pages with her only working left hand.

She also tried to take her right arm up, lifted her right arm with her left, and put it down, she was trying to understand "what the heck is wrong with my right arm?" I guess, I sometimes think it's better for her to not understand what's going on...cause she might then pop and get mad at herself, I dunno, I'm thinking a bit insane I think. We'll see what happens.

She was happy that she saw me I guess, I'm happy too, she gazes and looks right in my eyes sometimes, for minutes...she's trying to figure out why she loves me I guess, maybe she can't remember who I am, but she can remember how we made her feel...interesting moments...between me and my grandma....

Anyway, day27 it is today and I did not go to her this time, I'll see her tomorrow on day28 as my mom takes the weekend shift from the nurse who stays 5 daytimes + 3 nighttimes in a week, we need to build a schedule for that to make sure everyone's happy.

Within the next 2 weeks, grandma will be transported back to the hospital for Physical Therapy sessions, she will be staying there for a week or more I guess.

Thanks to Heidi220, I just phoned and talked to www.brucemedical.com for thick-it products, I guess I'll order a jar for 9.95usd + freight fee, and use it in various liquids, at the moment I'm looking at the website to try and figure out how it works, etc...

Healthy and happy days to all of you out there, have a great weekend.
