Unexpected side effects

I have found that there is an upside to dealing with dementia and that is the early bedtime. He likes to be tucked in by 9.00 and is unsettled if I am not there beside him. However going to sleep at 9.00 is not something I could ever achieve so I have taken to reading from 9.00 to 10.30. It is a wonderful time and I have gone through a huge number of books. Thank goodness for the public library and for the wonderful staff who locate titles for me. I haven't done this much reading in years and it is an unexpected pleasure.
