Mom's dementia seems to be progressing rapidly, so I am trying to make it a point, especially now that I am retired, to spend more time with her. So, today I picked her up and we went to lunch at Subway and we both got a footlong Subway club.
Hey, you can always eat the other half later.
After that, I decided to take mom to the bowling alley where they have slot machine gaming. She LOVES to gamble so I thought this would be fun. She lost her money but I won $50.
After that I stopped off at the bank to cash a check and we went to Ruler Foods, as I needed some things and she bought a few things as well.
All in all it was a good day. She had a lot of fun and we got things done. I would call this a win.

I am sure she felt the love if she may not remember any of it tomorrow.

Certainly a win for both of you. It's sad to see parents regressing with dementia.

It's great that you are spending time with her. I am sorry she is worsening quickly, I know it's so hard to watch.
