Binged a re-watch of Season 1 of “Foundation” for review before we start on Season 2. For anyone who is a sci-fi nut or Asimov fan, this show is amazing and well worth the time as the updated father of all visual sci-fi in the last 50 years😎

I hope your mother in law is doing okay.
I guess you have somewhere around the house where the dog can do its business?

She is cognitively impaired, for sure and getting more so every day. It’s a challenge.😵‍💫
Yeah, our yard is big, and Canoe has the full run of it. Sometimes, I take him down the hill to swim. Throwing the ball in our yard where there is shade to rest, is also adequate for exercise and play for him.😎

I'm sorry to learn that about her. My grandmother died from alzheimer and had about 8 years of declining cognitive abilities. It's probably not the same situation but yeah, not pleasant at all.
Glad to learn about Canoe 😃

I had 2 grammas and a grampa with dementia of varying sorts. And, I often had patients with some sort of cognitive impairment or dementia, as well. As did my husb whose primary population in his medical practice were elderly folks. The thing about this that is most difficult is that it is his mother. And, that she is aware that she is increasingly less capable, and it only makes her more paranoid. So she says she can’t remember, and that she’s lost X or Y, and that she needs help. But, then when help is stated and offered, she reverts back to her standard way of coping, which is to say NO to any and all suggestions to help. My poor husb is tearing his hair out. Thinking about her trying to move here to our house is a hand wringing thought to me😵‍💫😤

:hug: I feel you on not wanting her to move to your place... My mom took care of my dad's mother (my grandma but not her mother) and it drove her crazy... She felt she didn't have a place that was her own anymore.
But my parents were set against an elderly home so they got through it. It lasted 5 years...
