A Miracle

Dads dementia is driving me crazy!!!!!!! Geez it’s difficult to deal with. Im sure its no picnic for him either but as a caregiver it’s difficult.

Excited
Really excited to be moving. Its me and Pats first home together. Ive never really felt like our place now was really “ours”. It was him and his ex-wifes apt. But now I can finally decorate ...
A Little Relief.

My Circus, My Monkeys
I feel like a ringleader trying to direct multiple rings all at one time. Dad came home last night. Hes a mess. Im hoping a few days at home will re-orient him but right now hes a mess. He wa...
Breathing Room
I came up with a solution for our issues yesterday to give us some breathing room. We were told yesterday that dad was going to have to be discharged asap because insurance is no longer covering...
Wiped
I am so physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually depleted right now. This past week has sucked huge hairy monkey balls. And its really just beginning. I seriously need some downtime...
Make It Stop
We found out tonight that Dads dementia is so bad he has to have 24/7 care. Just to keep a watch on him because hed be the one that wanders off. This means that we need to get this house packe...

Less Stressed
So Kirsten spoke to the principal of the elementary school yesterday about the situation I wrote about yesterday. He was shocked. He had no idea about CPS being called. He also checked Azzys a...
