Slow Improvement in Dementiaville




Do The Gratitude Dance with us because . . .

Since the first few days after the fall, Romeo's condition has been improving. Slowly, the psychotic anxiety, hallucinations, and muscle spasms have all dissipated. We are grateful. Remnants of them remain so that he operates now at a lower baseline. It's too soon to tell exactly where, for now, the bottom is located.

One week after his fall, Romeo was discharged from the hospital and transferred to a skilled nursing facility (nursing home) four minutes from home. We are grateful. He is receiving physical therapy, occupational therapy, and memory therapy. He is becoming stronger, slowly. We are grateful.

So let's dance The Gratitude Dance again, because we, all of us, can smile, laugh, wiggle, and dance. We are HERE!!! Now, shake it!
