Watching a loved one lose self
Tonight it really hit home that a loved one is losing himself to dementia. We don't know if it is Alzheimers or some other type, but that doesn't rally really matter. What matters is seeing the rich person he was fade away as he slips further away from us. Where once he used to be a Martial Artist (Soke Roshi Shihan) and a brilliant medical medical researcher and teacher, now he spends most of his days in a state of sleep so deep that it is almost unconsciousness. When he does have a day of wakefulness, he cannot remember how to do the simplest things-use the microwave, compose an email, or even really feed himself. He must be constantly be watched lest he take an overdose of insulin, wander outside, or other behavior dangerous to himself. So sad that sometimes I go into the bathroom just to cry. Mom and I are his only caretakers. We really don't know what we should do. He has left strict instructions that no matter what, he is not to be taken to a hospital. He is frightened of strangers, now even of his own brother. We just do our best and take things one day at a time. Sigh...

Still sad about my stepsister. Makes me think that life is also passing me by.
A friend of mine lost her father this past week. My financial situation. My friend lost her beloved cat last night.... he was 15 or there abouts. Missing a friend. 2 more rejections from butches on the singles sites that I am on. I give up. Damn.. just plain sad most of the time anymore. |
A grown adult tattle tale. WOW I hope the reward was what you have lost.

My friend, Kelley, called just before 5:00 today, left a message to call her. She is very upset. She asked me if it is time to have her eldest dog euthanized. I gave her my opinion, told her it was past time and she would be doing a great thing for Sweet Pea. I love that little mix terrier. A couple of years ago, Kelley and I were volunteers for recovery service work in a city nearby. One night a week in the evenings we would take meetings to the hospital treatment facility. We would ride together and if Kelley was driving, she always had her three dogs with her in her SUV. (she still does that) Sweet Pea would insist on sitting in my lap - such a sweet, dear little soul.
The last few months when I have seen Sweet Pea, I have been thinking it is time. Not only is she blind, on three different kinds of medication and stumbling around but I am certain she has dementia too - she seemed confused. I told Kelley I would accompany her to her veteranarian's office when she needed me. Gosh, this is such a difficult decision to make and then carry through with it but you do it out of love for your pet. |
my friend K had eye surgery and she is in incredible pain. The skin from her brow line to her eye lashes has sunken into her eye socket and the surgery for this is far more painful than any of the ones I have had on my eyes. She and I are growing old together and I listen to her as she grieves the lives we once had, strong powerful bodied women who hauled hay and broke horses and tilled our own soil and birthed foals. Who would believe that now of us, as we are now? I am saddened for her, and a bit for me. But this is our season and this is how it must be....

The death of legendary Chicago Cubs player and radio broadcaster, Ron Santo!
He passed away last night after complications with bladder cancer and diabetes RIP Ron Santo |
Talking to My friend Christie and finding out that her Grandmother passed away yesterday. .. and it just weighs so heavily given she just lost her Mom unexpectedly two weeks ago. Sometimes, I just do not understand the why of it all.

Learning that Aretha Franklin has pancreatic cancer. My own illness. Rosie's family. Finding a dead songbird in the backyard. I buried it. It was beautiful. |
Oh no! So sad about Arethra!!!
|
my favorite little kitty has gone missing. he must have scooted out a door when someone was coming or going. it's supposed to be 19 degrees tonight. i'm so worried about him and my poor heart is breaking.
|
Very sad about Aretha. That's the same ugly stuff that killed my Mom.
(((((fiercegrrl))))) I hope your baby comes home. Sending protection and warmth to your baby and peace to you tonight. Perhaps someone will do for him what I did for the little kitty that came my way over the weekend - a little food and shelter for a couple of very cold nights & days. |
