Thank you. I'm so worn out, both physically and emotionally, that I'm spending the weekend lying down with a book. If it ever stops raining, we will go to the pool tomorrow. Float around in the water for a couple of hours.
Joan, how nice for you to have some peaceful time after the storm. You deserve to get some decent weather now and continuing peace on the home front. I don't know how you accomplish all you do, blogs, interviews, conferences- I get tired just thinking about it. Keep up the good work!
Honestly, it is the emotional turmoil that has caused me to finally crash this weekend. Yes,there is a lot of work involved in the website and the Alzheimer's work, but the severe emotional stress of the past month is what has really taken its toll on me. I took the advice of a friend this weekend, and have spent 90% of my time either sleeping, resting, or reading.
Sid has been so wonderful since Friday - I know he says it's not the medication, and believe me, I'm not going to argue with him, but he has been quiet and loving towards me. No insults, no sneers, no complaining - it has gone a long way to give me the rest I need.
Now I am going to sit out on the DRY patio (It finally stopped raining last night) and read some more. Later I will make my weekly list, and if I'm lucky, 1/2 of it will be accomplished by next weekend.
I must have missed something. I didn't know Sid was going on the anti-depressant until after the trials began. They told me 2 weeks too, but on the 3rd day, I was able to get off the sofa. Such good news Joan. I know you are spent after all the battles. We become war weary. Hope it keeps up! At any rate, you got a reprieve.
Joan, I didn't realize Sid was on the anti-depressant either. I do know within a few days of starting Lexapro, my husband wasn't showing any signs of agitation. I am kind of fearful to say that out loud, I am afraid I will be wrong.
