I invite you to log onto the home page - www.thealzheimerspouse.com - and read my new blog. All I can say is that if I didn't have a sense of humor, there is no way I could survive this Alzheimer journey.
Glad I'm not in the competition. Hope all goes well for you during the next couple of weeks physically and emotionally. Yup, and keep your sense of humor.
I don't see your new blog. The latest on my screen is the one about voting. Maybe I'm just tired (it's late, and I've wrote a mid-term exam in Anthropology today) and will find it easily tomorrow morning.
And that is something ... maintaining one's sense of humor ... that doesn't get the attention it deserves in the AD literature. I think you are amazing, Joan ... and I'm sure that sense of humor is definitely keeping you in better emotional shape as a result. Speaking for myself, if I didn't laugh off some things, I'd just become angry or depressed. Daily life is upsetting enough watching Clare slide down that AD hill; without a sense of humor, I'd be sliding down a parallel hill.
Joan, hope you are feeling a bit better and that the prednisone they gave you was oral, not an injection due to all the fungal meningitis cases. How are you doing on the Tramadol? I remember you have problems when you took it previously?
Blue, I did find Joan's blog this morning. Guess my computer refreshed the page when I disconnected it last night. As always, Joan's blogs are excellent.
Yes, I mentioned it in the new thread, but forgot to say it here. rbosh (Ruth) started a different discussion under this thread unrelated to the blog, so I gave it its own topic - Listening to Our Internal Voices - for anyone who is looking for it.
