Mr. Swiss and I often went for a stroll when we were younger. Today it is no longer possible, but I miss the walks we had, mostly along the local river into town. I am no longer able to walk without my walker and Mr. Swiss is now in a wheelchair. Even where I live I rarely see people strolling. It is a small village and there is nowhere interesting to stroll.
However our wild life compensates for strolling. This cat was taking a stroll in our area, although he/she was not so happy that I took a photo, but cats prefer to do their own thing.
Today I took a stroll on my scooter to visit Mr. Swiss. Unfortunately he is now getting more confused talking about events in our life, that actually never happened. He is now 86 years old and aging is not being very kind to him.
Must be difficult to go with a wandering mind without a clue if so many decades before were knowing one another and company.

Things are no longer as they were. Some days are OK, and others are very difficult.

The stroll Mr. Swiss is on is not an easy one, as you know. 💔

Dementia is not easy, it has many faces. Some days are OK, and others not, but I have learnt a lot.

Yeah. I dealt with it with my mom and my Aunt Martha. It’s hard and sad.

Argh! WP gremlins. I have been kicked off quite a number of blogs, not following them anymore. Since you mentioned a break a while back, I didn’t look for your’s and now I have to click myself backwards (and subscribe again). Not now, though, my husband is hollering to come to dinner! See you soon.

I also have problems. Sometimes I think I am getting too old for this computer experience and they are changing the progrmmes now and again in the name of improvement. If only I could change my brain to match.

Don’t let WP discourage you. Their programmers have to justify their existence so they change things. Without ever consulting the people who have been using the site for ages and know what works. I was an active member of a site for almost 20 years that was sold and the “new kids” ruined the platform. You do understand the word “verschlimmbessern”, I’m sure.

That is sad to hear. It is hard for Mr Swiss but in a way harder for you to see him this way. The cat does look grumpy. As you say they do their own thing.

His mind wanders a lot and it is quite a wild imagination sometimes, but I am adjusting. He has good days and not so good. Today he was reading the newspaper without problem.

Sorry to hear that things are going south with Mr Swiss. We have several cats that stroll through our yard. It seems some persons have decided the farm next door is a good place to leave an unwanted cat; every couple of years one shows up. Softie that I am, I’ve been feeding strays. But we’re moving in two weeks and who will take pity on them when I’m gone?

Most of our local cats seem to belong somewhere.I had three myself, but that was long ago. Mr. Swiss has good days and not so good, but I can cope and the home where he is is a good place for him.
