That’s not him

Nov 9

G and I went to the hospital to see The Curmudgeon. We found a shadow of him in the bed. Incoherent talking nonsense completely scaring me out of my mind strange.

This wasn’t the same man we saw the last time we went in. This was someone who had gone beyond the weird.

I am crying my eyes out. I am afraid. I need to be surrounded by people who care, but that’s not gonna happen.

G is my only anchor. She’s kept me from going off the deep end and I hate weighing her down with it.

Sometimes that deep end looks far too inviting.

    Peg – what a terrible situation. “Talk” to your father about this and I’ll bet you sense some sort of calming. It’s not just really yesterday alone – it’s the culmination of all the events that have lead to this over the years. You have done more than humanly possible and it’s time for you to take at least a full day to yourself. There’s a beach house in your future – don’t forget that cuz. Rick Hale

    This is a terrible situation Peg. It’s not just yesterday – it’s a culmination of everything leading up to this over the too many years. “Talk” to your father and I’ll bet you will be soothed.
    You’ve done more than humanly possible so take a full day to yourself now. There’s a beach house in your future, cousin. Rick

    I am so sorry you are having to go thru this. I know we have never met but have our hometowns in common. I wont say I know how you feel other than my dad had alzheimers and acted some what the same. I lost him in 200p1 and my husband in 2012. I cannot be there with you but please know I am with you in spirit and if you would like will send you my phone number on FB. It would be to be used to call at anytime. I know how important it is to ave people to talk to. Domt forget I also have MS. It was in remission but has now shown its ugly head. Please know I am here. Praying for strength for you Sandy Hanson
