- Holy S#$%! We just brought Rollie in the house from his walk in the snow! It is snowing here where I live, it is 8:30 PM and dark. We live in the mountains, so no street lights, houses far apart, trees and bushes and rocks. At about 8 I thought,...
- The VA has Palliative Doctor and we met with her last Friday. The VA called me and made the appointment, I didn't contact them.So this is a synopsis of what w talked about. I talked to her alone which was nice and we filled out his POLST,...
- Maybe some of you have already seen something like but I think it is interesting and thought I would share. I would really like to see an MRI of Rollie's brain right purely on a curious...
- So we put the new lock on the door and Rollie can't figure out how to open it. I find I feel a bit more relaxed now not having to check his whereabouts every 5 seconds. But he keeps tugging on the door knob, trying and trying. It's kind of sad,...
- Do you find yourselves making BIG plans, like tomorrow I'm going to wake up, get out in the garden, sweep the patio, hm, clean the kitchen really good. You know "BIG" plans, because at this point just ONE of those things would take me all day and...
- Rollie has been unsteady butting his butt in a chair so I have been guiding him for about a month now. This morning, while my back was turned he missed the chair and fell flat on his butt! AARRGGHH! Don't you feel like you need eyes in the back of...
- I was in the kitchen and when I came back in the living room Zander was sitting on his chair right in front of the door , blocking it, so Peepop could not get out! What a smart boy. I told him that it was an excellent idea.
- I am beginning the book in earnest and at this point there isn't enough for a book BUT I do have an idea of how we can correct that. I realize that many of you are intimidated so I was thinking, can we use stuff you have already posted? Can I cut...
- As most of you know my husband's children do not contact him. Today my son, who has been raised by my husband since he was 5, took Rollie out while he ran errands. He does this because Rollie likes to go for car rides and then I get a break. My son...
- It has been difficult to get Rollie to sleep for the past few nights. He is fidgety and gets up and down. Here it is 11:30 and he is still awake, usually he falls asleep around 9. I am really resentful of this. This is supposed to be MY time! He is...
- I ahven't been posting because I have been having a rough time. I am going to put Rollie back on Zyprexa. He will NOT settle down, pacing, sleepless, generally difficult. I'll get back to you all soon.
- We had an appointment today with Rollie's doctor and he does not see significant change in him from last July. I don't agree BUT then I can see how his doctor might not see it. Rollie 'presented' well today. However, he did agree with my decision to...
- I am not sure exactly when it happened but Rollie is now down to 180 pounds. 5 years ago he was a nice, round 230 pounds. In 16 years I have never known him to be under 195. Before Thanksgiving he weighed 189, I know that for sure, so he has lost 9...
- I am thinking of taking Rollie off the Zyprxa. He is really hallucinating badly. We ran out and he didn't have any for a week and I think he had less hallucinations. He still isn't exhibiting any aggression which was the main reason for it. He has...
- My husband is asleep early, the kids are all out doing various things and I am sitting here in some beautiful solitude and quiet. :)I did think to myself however, what would I do if I could do whatever I wanted and I decided that I would take my new...
