About who needs care: I have frontal temporal dementia. I have problems with memory and speech (finding the right words). I have tremors in my hands making texting, typing, any fine motor activities difficult. I have balance issues and have fallen several times. I have a partner/companion/ husband however, he has cancer and is not strong / steady enough to do much of what I need. Hobbies and interests: I like doing crafts, and artsy kinds of things. I enjoy games and puzzles, just have no one to do those things with. Actually, I spend a lot of time online, playing games on the computer, and Judge Judy and I are quite close. I have a big dog (Boxer/Pit mix). He is very friendly but needs more physical activity. Structure my day: Not many ideas to share. I have a friend that lives in Cedar Falls, we talk on the phone daily. I am a late sleeper. I would get up have coffee and mentally go through what I need or want to accomplish. Hopefully, I would be able to go out some way, somewhere, finish my tasks for that day then relax, do something fun and in bed ready to sleep by 12. About the care needs: Guess I need someone that would talk and share but also be ok with silence. Some one that could handle my frustration when I having filled this whole space and then do something that erased everything.
