The Hidden Reasons Why Alzheimer’s Caregivers Are So Stressed When Nancy Daly was helping to care for her late mother, who had Alzheimer’s disease, the stress was so great that she would often shut herself in a bathroom and cry into a towel. For more than two years, Daly regularly flew from her home in California to her mother’s in Maryland, eventually to no recognition. “It was as if my entire…

For several weeks now I have been waiting on the insurance approvals for this device to be implanted in Dusty in order to hopefully achieve a reduction of his overall seizure activity. Whether it works or not remains to be seen but all the research and people who have used it show at least some chance of it helping. Just how much it helps is the question. Dusty already takes three…

We were sitting here the other night talking about different things as we normally do and then he got on the subject of our wedding day. I remember very little about that day. I remember we were married at the courthouse and two of his fellow Marines were the witnesses, along with…
Originally posted 2021-01-13 09:28:48. The day started like any other. I try not to let Dusty know he has an appointment because he will not sleep and get up at the butt crack of dawn. He had an appointment at his neurologist’s office but not with the neurologist. He was seeing the doctor who handles his VNS (vagal nerve stimulator). They were checking the battery and other information that it holds. He had it surgically…

As we were hanging there in the waiting area I lost my balance…and… BAM. I caught myself with the “bad foot” Split second reaction. Then I reached for my husband and latched onto him THAT SHIT HURT!!!! I wanted to scream like a mf’r in a room full of people. I burst into tears. Thankfully my surgeon didn’t think I damaged anything. In two weeks I get this cast off, xray, then they are supposed…

I still have my aunt and my “new” aunt. My aunt never found her birth father. I feel like she longed for just knowing where she came from. I guess I can understand it. I want to help her find more…
Day three feels like nine hundred and twenty-one. I’m in so much pain I am not even hungry. Problem is I need to eat being on all these medications. The nerve block more than likely wore off today since it is only supposed to last 3 or so days. I stayed in the hospital overnight because I was in so much pain. I remember looking at the monitor and it was like 168 over something.…

It’s March 10th here in eastern North Carolina and mother nature has lost her estrogen medication. 😉 Nonetheless spring is around the corner and my garden needs to be prepared to blossom. I’ve had composters in the past. One even my husband tried to make but none seemed to seal the deal for me. But, I have all these coffee grounds, expired coffee beans and used kcups from using my new keurig coffee…
