Day 270

Day 270

Monday, February 17, 2014

Physical:

For the last few days DH has been in the care of DS and DIL while I “escaped”.  He did very well with them.  His confusion continues, but was not too “off the wall”; and he was not agitated or upset about anything.  He even seems to have moments of realization that things aren’t as they seem to him. 

He ate well, slept well, and things in general were very calm and relazed.  I believe he enjoyed the company for the weekend (instead of just me most of the time!)

People:

There were a lot of people in and out.  My brother and SIL came Friday, and brought me home again today.  TGF was here Friday until DIL got here.  2 of the grands were here, and 3 dogs.  I’m sure that was exciting! LOL!  The nurse came Friday before I left; but the CAN was out sick, and a replacement came sometime in the afternoon after I left.  TGF came by over the weekend; I have no idea if DSS came by or not.  Right when DB & SIL brought me home, and we were talking with DIL before she had to leave, the supply delivery came.  Less than 2 hours after everyone left, the CAN got here. 

Emotions:

I am, currently, relaxed and rested.  I know I’ll be tired again; but I really feel better able to handle the strees now.  Standing back a bit, so to seak, has given me some ideas about changes I can make; TGF also gave me a good idea.  So over the next few months I will gradually be doing some things to make life easier for me, and things run more smoothly for DH.

I think, also, I’m closer to accepting several situations that I can’t change, and figuring out realistic wasy to deal with them. 

Tomorrow (well, really, tonight) everything will be back to as close to “normal” as it gets around here.
