Back and forth - some quality Penny content and a visit with Ethyl and Marylin

I'm just going back and forth between home and Northwood, and I'm taking my bike more often now to avoid traffic. In this video I take Penny to see Heather, and while it was a good thing to do I was struck by how little connection remains between them. In our wandering around the place we found two lovely ladies in the Ageless Beauty Salon who recognized us. Hope they see this! :-)

I know that the tee-shirt and other product delivery is much slower than anyone would want but that's just the nature of these online stores. Hope they start arriving soon!

Thanks for being here. Thanks for joining me on this journey. You are not alone.

BACKGROUND
Heather first started showing signs of memory issues in early 2021, and in October 2021 she received the diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia, which is a form of frontotemporal dementia. Her cognitive decline since then has been rapid and steady, as frequently happens with early onset dementia. Her mobility has degraded at the same time, making the situation even more challenging.

How I first noticed there was an issue:    • How I first noticed there was an issue.
