As I have been saying, the window is closing and there seems to be more and more evidence each day. The medication does not seem to be allowing her have much of a quality of life. Today, we got out of the house about noon, heading to Sam's Club to pick up a few things. I was planning to have lunch at one of our usual places. Taco Bueno, Chic-Filet, but today we chose to go to What-a-burger. They were very busy, but we got our order and sat down as usual. I always ask her what she wants and suggest the chicken strips, but today she chose a hamburger with cheese. I cut the burger in half and I wasn't sure how she was going to take it but, I have to help her. She cannot hold all or even half of the hamburger. First of all it takes two hands and she cannot use her left hand. I fed the entire hamburger to her. She usually tries to do it herself when it gets smaller, but today she wanted me to feed it to her and she had no concerns. Same can be said for dinner, she would barely try to eat her food but would allow me to feed her with no problem. This represents a big change as far as I am concerned. Also, tonight as we were taking her pills, I asked her to turn on the kitchen light, she had no idea where the switch was located.
