Dementia lady has so far worn a dead-eyed down-in-the-mouth look. I’d thought when I first saw her some six months ago that she disliked me — gave me this dead-eyed down-in-the-mouth look when I smiled at her. I only found out later that she had dementia. Then the husband said she had lost strength in the left leg, which is why he asked me for a massage for her — not for her dementia.
Thursday, I gave her another massage: 5th leg massage and 3rd sciatic point massage. Hubby said her sleep has improved with my massages.
She even started to join in a bit of the karaoke singing, seeming to remember something.
When they walked past me as they were leaving, she actually raised a hand (slightly) and waved at me with a smile!!!
