A few days ago Dennis told me that sometimes he feels like he is in a trance like state. It's more than just being frozen for a few seconds; he almost appears to be unconscious, but awake.
We had just started to play a game of bowling with our Wii, when he asked for his pills. I put them in his mouth to speed the process along and gave him a can of coke with a bendy straw. He just stood there, not moving, staring at nothing. After a minute or two, I told him to swallow his pills. He didn't budge.
After quite a few more minutes, I finally lifted the coke up and put the straw in his mouth. He began to suck up the coke almost immediately.
Then he didn't seem to be able to stop drinking the pop. He kept on sucking and sucking until I was afraid he would begin to spit it out.
That was when he confessed that at times he feels like he is in a trance at times.
Nothing more to add, just this simple observation
Until later,
Ann and Dennis
