H had taken the day off from work yesterday and we spent a productive day together. I drove him to work this morning because of the possibilty of rain. So I have time just enough for this post before I have to get the folks ready and out the door for their tuesday outing.
I think that long term thing is a killer.
That's for sure. I think that my little problem with "disengagement" is likely due to relentless, intense stress.
My Mom and her H (the folks) are alright. Some days are worse than others, but all and all, they're doing as well as can be expected considering the severity of their dementia. I feel like a puppet master anymore. It's really sad to watch them mentally slipping away. The simplest of things have turned into major challenges.
Although my own health wavers from day to day, I am happy to report that I've had no intense abdominal cramping for at least four days now. Aside from fatigue and hair loss, the only thing that is causing me concern is frequent chills. At this moment in time, I seem to be in a holding pattern and am continuing on with my quest to gain some weight back.
I keep forgetting to make an appointment with the doctor, however, I'm not overly concerned. I'm pretty sure I'd have heard from him by now if he had found something dire. I do intend to call for an appointment before long though.
Other than that, I'm doing pretty well today.
I caught up on your thread yesterday but did not have time to post. I need to get back over there and see how you are doing as soon as I get a chance.
