Saturday in soCal...
up and at em and then the earthquake shook. 4.1. not so bad. Every one else in the country thinks it is a wild ride. Well I guess it is if you're someplace else and hear a 4.1 shook our area. Me, it is crooked pictures to straighten, looking for cracks in the frame of the house, and new places to spackle.
I was going to post earlier this week about something and it has totally slipped my mind. Funny how things do that. Slip my mind. I swear it must be well oiled because things slip through more and more.
My shrink told me I am being bipolar. Forgetting, starting things and stopping them.. Being happy one moment and then totally depressing the next day. Stressed out then then calm. I think I am menopausal and freaked out about life. WHO WOULDN'T be bipolarish? Then she proceeded tot ell me I am ADD attention deficit disorder. Oh really? We knew this, both she and I. She prescribed medication to focus me, and it knocked me out. HA! Amphetamines knock me out. One in a million, one in a million....
Son had annual RHC yesterday. Yup pressures are up. The dang great cardiologist who did RHC said YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND WATCH THIS. SHE never said this before. Causes me some CONCERN. But son says don't worry mom. HA! how can you not worry when it comes from the mouth of the professional???? Systolic is up. Highest 1teensomething. Hmmm. it was like that when diagnosed. Mean pressure 65. Well hello, that isn't so great. I guess the ol' IV meds are coming back into his life. Veletri he is coming to meet you. Side effects of jaw pain here he comes. Neuropathy again in the footies. Gastro ickies once again. And he is supposed to start medical school? Well this is going to be interesting.
Hubs brain cancer tumor area is lighting up more on the MRI. New chemo protocol. FUN. 28 day series of meds. I am getting tired of being the pharmacist. I get a wee bit confused in setting out meds. So it varies a little each week, I think Denno's body has to get a bit sick of the same thing at the same time. The only thing that doesn't change is the anti seizure medications. The last thing he needs is another seizure. Energy is good, most the time. Dennis is getting thinner. I keep pumping in those calories....
Dementia isn't easy either. My mother in law will be 93 on the fourth of May. She has vascular dementia. I had to explain last night that the house she grew up in isn't her family home any longer. She was stuck there. Then she was stuck about who owned her home. Had to explain that one over and over. Oh well, she finally moved on to another subject. I am thankful when she moves on to another subject. Makes it easier and Dennis doesn't get so upset.
I feel blessed to have everyone in my family, even with the trials. It shows that we are dependent on each other for support and love. I tend to be the caregiver, but they care for me too, I am the legs and brain, but they fill me with hope and love too.
I still wish I could remember why I was so damn urgent to blog earlier this week. Another idea oiled and slipped through. Dang it.
Time to go and mow the yard. My lawn kid didn't show up so I am the lawn lady today. Allergies are too bad for the rest of the clan to mow. I am donning my mask and off to mow :) (I am allergic to the cut grass)
Hope the storm we had earlier this week quits with the BAD weather as it moves east!
Just saw a hummingbird reflection in the window as I typed this. Glad I made more hummer food, they are totally happy to have their food in the feeder out front. I am going to try to take photos and post the happy hummingbirds at the window feeder. Going to put up another two feeders today.
Roses had their first blush bloom, and now spring has sprung. Daffodils have come and gone, glads are blooming as well as the iris. Carrots have popped up from seed and the tomatoes are up from seed too. I like when things grow. My sadness is the citrus got frosted earlier this year and they look SAD.
Hugs from California the land of SHAKING
