- quick note while waiting in the airport, Sharon and I had a FANTASTIC, WONDERFUL time in Las Vegas, what a healing experience. I will write more when I get home.
- Isn't it amazing how w can go from ok to I want to run out of the house screaming!!!!!Today was ok until he thought that our son was my husband and now he won't stop with the 'someone is going to kill me" thing. He thinks that my son is my jealous...
- While I am on here, reading and posting I turn around to find that Rollie is peeing on the clean clothes waiting to be folded in the laundry basket, sigh.
- Man, I need to do this, write it down in a journal that is easily accessible! I weighed Rollie this morning and he is down to 178 and I cannot remember when the last time I weighed him was, but he weighed 184. I think it was a month ago. Lesson...
- Today in our meeting with the palliative care doctor she suggested we stop his aspirin per day and his blood pressure meds. I said yes. She said there was no point really and I agreed. However, she said that sometimes patients get headaches when...
- Ha Ha, today at Rollie's doctor's appointment his doctor gave me a care giver stress test. I scored 11 out of 16. A high score is not desireable on this test.
- I think I am over my funk, I don't know, I was sitting next to Rollie on the couch and he was so quiet and looked so sad. I asked him, 'what are you thinking, sweetie?" and he said, 'I'm dying."That was 3 nights ago and since then I have had...
- I sent this email to a friend whose mother is now starting the ALZ journey. I am sharing because I thought, how many of you would write the same letter? Probably all of us.I have been married 30 years of my life and I think that only about 10 of...
- Has anyone found the ideal drinking cup? I have tried cups with straws and bottle type tops and sippy cups. He seems confused about the sucking part, like he doesn't remember how to suck anymore. Pulling up the bottle top to take a drink is too...
- Why is it so hard to motivate myself? I feel like when Rollie isn't here I have tons of energy but him just sitting next to me saps my energy. I mean he isn't talking or wandering but I feel like I can't move. I guess because I know the minute I do...
- I have a hard time with the "just sit and do nothing" part of this. I am an active person and I used to have so many hobbies but I just can't do them because Rollie demands so much of my attention. But I think I have found something I can do,...
- Rollie has developed this weird habit of turning his cup upside down, he brings it to his mouth, sips and then he keeps pouring the glass as he pulls it away from his mouth, like maybe , he isn't sure how to turn it off? I don't know, but I now give...
- I am really in a funk, none of the old things are working and I just feel like I don't want to do this anymore, not even for one more minute. I am just spent. I am losing my caring and just don't care about anything. I am still in my pajamas, I have...
- I took this from Sher from another thread because it is just how I am feeling right now."Mind you I am normally a very strong person the one everyone comes to for help, but I am beginning to lose that strength and can't seem to stop it. I feel...
- So in addition to the snow storm, a power pole went down in our back yard at 5 AM and snapped the line. So we were without power in the snow in the winter. At around 3 I decided I just couldn't take it anymore, PG&E said we will probably not have...
