Liz has a chest infection. It's not serious and the Nursing Home are doing a fantastic job at dealing with it.
I dragged myself into the home today expecting the usual mild hostility from my lovely.
Not so.
I was greeted with a smile and a hug.
I got her to drink a 1/2 litre of juice from the blackberries I froze last autumn, laced with live yoghurt.
And then put her on her bed, she's very tired. Then I read her favourite poetry book to her. She curled up happy and quite content.
I am home and not bothering about the ridiculous unpredictability of this illness. For an hour or so I had her back.
I am happy tonight.

Kevin I am so glad that you had a good day with Liz. I like the sound of that drink. I bet Liz loved it. I am so pleased that it was a nice day for both if you. Sorry about the infection though.
Hugs.

Pescious moments to treasure. Very very occasionally PSP relents for a moment or two allowing us to make New positive memories. May there be more such beautiful moments for you both.
Love Tippy

Oh, yes.
The penny dropped yesterday.
I suddenly remembered the Neurologist delivering the diagnosis.
He had Liz in hospital for a couple of days for diagnostic tests. He said that Liz had PSP with some elements of CBD.
Bearing in mind this was a PSP specialist who has a PSP research arm.
It would certainly make sense of her difficult behaviour. I must have been in a bit of denial to have let that slip out of my awareness.
Anyway
Hugs to you NanB

I don't know how I miss things but I missed this one....So a month late and 30 dollars short, I will congratulate you on a lovely day with Liz. I do hope these last few weeks have given you a couple more of these days.....and you both can find a little fun amongst the antibiotics

Hi Andrea
Thanks.
They seem to be getting rarer
Live was very cold when her friends visited on Friday and again with her Sister yesterday.
This is so not 'her'.
Hoping today I will be able to reach through to her to make a space where she feels cherished and safe.
Thanks for being there.
Hugs
Kevin
