Doctor's Advice

Yesterday I had an appointment with our primary care physician. He told me several things.

1. If family members refuse to help tell them "You can be part of the solution or part of the problem."

2. Have everyone you need assistance from read the book "The 36 Hour Day". He told me to give it to my daughter and TELL her to read the entire book.

3. If friends find that I am difficult to get along with and have a bad attitude, remember that they are not walking the path I am. And he also said to tell them to go live with the devil, or words to that effect.

God bless you on your walk with life.

Let go Let God

Have you ever had something happen to you that seems to take over your entire day? You keep turning it over to God and then taking it back to worry over some more. God keeps telling you that He cannot work on it until you let go. Well I am in the middle of a struggle about a problem and we are playing tug of war. Please, let God win!

First blog

Since January, 2008 I have been coping with my husband's diagnosis of Dementia. The Neurologist has not specified which of the many dementia's we are dealing with.

DH has short term memory losses, deep depression, and to a degree sundowner's syndrome. He is still in a state of denial and when evidence of his decline is shown to him he quickly forgets the incident. He is still driving. He still has control of his debit card. He still has control of his Internet access.

I, too, am dealing with depression. It has affected my work and my relationships with friends and co-workers.

This blog will be my outlet for frustration, joys and sorrows. I know that many others are dealing with what I am going through. I pray for all of them and ask in return that you pray for my DH and myself.

Thank you
