The weather in Baltimore is 72F with a few high, whispy clouds, and hardly a breeze. We took Fay out into the courtyard this afternoon for her sugar-free ice cream snack and manicure. Margie only wounded Fay once during the manicure, but Fay didn't seem to mind. Basecoat, polish and topcoat. Ready for another week.
You can see that the beauty shop has become a little more adept at styling Fay's hair. It has grown out some and the new set looks good. Not as much hairspray as Fay has used for the past, oh, 60 years, but attractive nonetheless.
Fay seemed a little confused today. She talked on the phone with Wendy and then with Sarah, but at times the conversations seemed to take strange twists. I think her ability to articulate her thoughts is lagging the thoughts themselves. Sometimes by the time she thinks of how to say what she had on her mind she has forgotten why she wanted to say it. The nurse practitioner and doctor are of the opinion that the memory and Alzheimer's drugs are not doing anything (and their efficacy is controversial anyway) so we have started to wean her off them. Maybe we need to re-think that strategy.
