Connie, our daughter, Faye and I pack it up and head to our favorite spot. Las Vegas.
The trip is usually 4 hours or less but with Faye we stop often and 5 1/2 hours later we check in at Caesar's Palace. The room is spacious and handicapped equipped.
Faye is tired and cranky so we put her down for a nap.
We just relax and enjoy the ambiance. Faye knows not of what we do. She loves to play the video porker but her memory is so gone now, Connie and I stay with her to allow for her to pick the right cards. But she has fun and we play for a little while.
She is tired now so off to the room.
Three days late and time to go home. It has been the most difficult of all trips. This will be our last, Connie and I decide. Faye is no longer cognizant of her surroundings and as we travel for home she isn't sure if we are coming or going. Once home and for he next fee days she awakes and asks where we are.
So now we will stay at home, except for needed trips for doctor's appt. no need to further stress her. Her knees are so bad she is now on 3 Norco a day and that only helps marginally. But I do not wish to addict her so I provide aspirin as a supplemental.
TV shows mean nothing to her now. She follows no plot, has no comprehension.
The good news is she still remembers me. And she remembers her children. Not doing so well on the grandkids at this point.
And life goes on.
