Good Morning All:
Just checking in. Been up since 3:00 a.m, sounds like the old tune for us oldies, It's 3:00 clock in the morning and I;ve danced the whole night through. Sort of. Watched John most of the night as he just wasn;t comfortable.
Missed his hair cut yesterday as he slept and slept. Dr. called and will be making a visit sometime this week. All else going well. To-day my 4 hr respite so will do some shopping and get out of the house.
It is getting cooler in the mornings now, have to close more windows which I keep open for cool air during the hot clime but fall is nigh and you can feel the coolness in the condo. Leaves are beginning to turn and I see more jackets on pedestrians. Umbrellas next as this is the wet coast.
Yesterday, I think I had a near panic attack when the dr. called to renew John;s meds. I always feel that I am answering to a teacher...goes back to my school days, guess, I know I am doing everything correctly, however, when he asks me how is John;s weight, I panic as I have not weighed him this past two weeks, mia culpa, I get that good old guilty feeling and don't know why. I know I have everything else under control and the dr has told me I am doing great but that darn guilt..anyone else feel this - that they should or are not doing as well as they should looking after their loved one.
Not much else going on at this moment . it is 6:14 in the a.m. here so I shall sign off, get John's meds ready, his nebulizer, insulin, etc and breakfast. Will have coffee with him and will play a game of solitaire while he watches as his eye sight has deteriorated so much more, has macular degeneration in one eye and blind in the other so his vision is very poor. We loved to play solitaire when we lived up country. Learned so many games now my memory reclls only the easy ones. What gives"
Take care and newcomers welcome and get on board
