MADISON, AL.
Thanks to a reader's request I went down to the torture chamber this morning and nobody was there. Good I thought I can get the names of the games I play to help my dementia get better. Well not quite. Lots of the storage cabinets were closed and locked. The ones open were accessed to get game names on a few games. Then it was back to my room to write about it all. Then the internet was used to check out for more good games and verify what I had brought from the torture chamber. So now the plan after tonight is to get the information on games used as I get to use them in the future. Then the info will be available to all my readers.
The old standby is SUDOKU and it seems to be a mainstay for brain help. It is used fairly often at this facility.
The one that has been giving me trouble for a few months is ON THE DOT by Brainwright and is available at Amazon.
On the internet sites I found Chess, checkers and jigsaw puzzles are all recommended.
On a different thought exercise was also highly recommended and my favorite was in the top group of recommended exercises. Thirty minutes a day of aerobic walking at a speed that is fast enough to get you into breathing deeply is recommended. I do it in the hallways in my assisted living facility every day. It is easy and I get to HOWDY lots of folks.
I get torture chamber time Monday, Wednesday and Friday and I plan to report on new games as they happen. I have a little bit of stuff happening but it needs to wait a little while before publishing about it all.
As far as today goes the lady across the hallway, BettyR and I got in two nice patio visits today. One after lunch and one after supper and it was nice to use the good weather like that .
That is it for tonight. Have some fun for the gang. Goodnight.
Thank you SO much. I actually play Sudoku every day, so maybe I'm on the right track.
ReplyDeleteA good track for sure. Thank you for the comment.
DeleteHi Barney, I just did a catch up on your blog and it's good to see you are adjusting so well to your situation and life is still good. My life is changing again too. After two years back in my home town, Hannibal MO. I decided I still don't loke winter and I've bought a place in Pharr TX and will be heading there soon.
ReplyDeleteMy life is being run at a slower pace now and I sometimes miss the travel, but I can always go back and read my old blogs at https://travlinwithjohn.blogspot.com. It allows me to reflect on all the wonderful and interesting people I encountered along the way including you. Barney I wiss you nothing but the best in your future endeavors. Happy trails.
