what do you do when.....

1. someone continually refuses your help?
2. refuses to communicate
3. refuses to co-operate and in the process tells you that if you don't like it the way he wants to stay out of it.....nothing is open for discussion? 
   
4. someone doesn't care what anyone else thinks?

Arrived home last night after 8 days back home!

Once again I am feeling emotionally EXHAUSTED!

Nothing new out there.....same ole same ole!

1. Mom continues to decline!
2. Jeep continues to work from morning to night(seen him once in 8 days(for a total of maybe 1 hour))! Daryl & I have NO communication with him, other than letting him know when we are taking Mom & bringing her home again.......that's called courtesy!
3. Don't get me wrong........I really do love the time I spend with Mom & Daryl, it just gets increasingly difficult to go out there and see NO change/effort put forth to make things better for her......my sit around and wait days are coming to an end REAL QUICK!

Just talked to Mom.......she is VERY mixed up tonight.

Not sure what's up, she doesn't sound stressed............just very confused!

7:30 She had visitors(T&L), apparently she asked for them to come over as she was alone!

A little history!

coming soon!

2 reasons

At the moment my two main reasons for starting this blog are:

1. the obvious.....to journal this journey!
2. to share with others how I am feeling. There are so many people in Mom's circle that want to know how things are going. I am finding it more and more difficult to keep up good communication with everyone.....and it seems many only hear from me on my bad days!!! I literally spent 4 hours on the phone yesterday! All conversations were basically the same, simply repeating myself........very time consuming, stressful, and in the end no resolve, just talk!!!It seems like ever conversation I have is about the same thing, I am always complaing.........it is very exhausting! I am thankful to have so many that are willing to lend me their ear.........what must you be thinking? It is my hope that those that want to be informed will visit here.......read my updates.....and feel like they have been fairly informed!

oh my another blog?

It's time for me to share my stories on life with Mom & alzheimers! I will warn you things here are not always going to be pleasant, actually it's my guess that most time they won't be.

You are of course welcome to visit anytime, but if you think you will enjoy the lighter side of my life it might be best you stick to JUST4U & ME

I will try my best to keep things positive, acurate, & fair........I cannot make any promises.....that will not be easy while dealing with extreme levels of frustration!!!

I am starting this today, because today is one of those days............
