Everything is temporary.

Me and my 2 Sweeties.

The beauty between us is my youngest, Hi Honey, I know she reads my blog because she will call or text me about something I've written. Yesterday, it was about CBD, and how I should be taking it, to help relieve me of my leg pain. I worry so much about Sweetie, that I forget what I can do to help me. 

It seems that lately, life is just pushing in on me. With the loss of a caregiver, and with my support meeting coming this Friday, I am perplexed. I don't know what to do. I can leave Sweetie for those 3 hours, because I know she will be safe. Then again, what will the be price I will have to pay for leaving her alone? Or, will missing a meeting be that wrong for me? 

One of the things that I've learned, is "This to will pass." Everything is temporary and it is just getting through the busy intersection of life, love, fear and hate is the most important task ahead. 

Wednesday

Time to get Sweetie up. I've given her her first dose, and now it is time to get her moving. She lays there, letting me take the blanket off of her, and slowly help her up and out of bed. 

She is shaky in the morning now. It takes her a few seconds to find her balance. I hold her close to me, feeling her body next to mine, just memories of years gone by, and love comes with it. 

At the breakfast table, it is meal time. Because she has such a big breakfast so late in the morning, that I keep questioning myself about the time I get her up. Should I get her up earlier for meal timing, or just leave it alone? Don't know, just thoughts running through my head. 

I'm planning on going to the mall for a short walk about. To test my endurance on my leg. At the same time, get Sweetie out of the house and some exercise herself. 

It is in the late afternoon when we go. Sweetie isn't very cooperative, and I am worried about our walk. 

As it turns out, I was right to worry about her. She didn't want to stay with me, and wanted to wonder off. At the same time, I found out that I had no endurance at all, and with pain shooting up my leg, I had to keep a close reign on her, to keep her close to me. 

We quickly made it back to the car and home. I could tell she was wondering in her mind, out somewhere, I just hope I could get her back before the end of the day. 

Home again, Sweetie not wanting to get out of the car, so I had to help her out and into the house. 

Once in, helped with the CBD, and TV. We sat, and finished our day there.

The night wasn't any easier. I got some sleep, and Sweetie was up and down most of the night. Somewhere around midnight, we both found rest and sleep. 

It was a good start this day, on the Road to Dementia Town. We did find some rough spots, and a late arrival for the night. We did find places where we could Keep our Shiny Side Up, brief as they were. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless. Arthur.
