    Thumbnail…more questions than answers.

    So, I mapped out the trip to Gainesville yesterday to see if it would be easier to leave from the old house (my sister-in-law’s place) or from the new place (my dad’s place). […]

    WOW, Bette! To think that an entire group of people came together to help Mark and I is incredible! I am seldom at a loss for words, but am finding it so hard to put into words what I am feeling! Humbled. […]

    Teri commented on the post, What a Week! 3 weeks, 2 days ago

    You nailed it, Denise! It IS that feeling of having no control. Top that with change and feelings of inadequacy and …. WHEW, just hand me the straight jacket!

    I will keep everyone posted on this week. So […]

    It seems like this week has been a whirlwind of emotions for me. (I sincerely hope that none of this comes across as being ungrateful or judgmental.)

    We went to my dad’s place on Tuesday to “clean out” the room […]

    Ah, Denise! Good questions – ones to really make me think.

    I find that I “deal” with M’s health pretty good on a day to day basis – or so I tell myself. I have been a caregiver for what seems like so long […]

    Teri wrote a new post, On the Go…. 1 month ago

    Oh my goodness. It seems like the past two to three weeks have been non-stop on the go for us. Either Mark or I have had an appointment almost every single day of the week each week.

    The good part is that […]

    As everyone knows, being a caregiver seems to put us in a category all of our own most of the time.

    We are constantly needed. It might just be that we are needed for the mental and emotional support we give. It […]

    Tonight I just want to run away. No real reason, just a lot of little emotions. It does not help that I am off of my anti-depressant (I like to call this my “I can deal pill”). I am in the midst of a clinical […]

    Jane – Whine away. You have to get it out. It doesn’t matter if there is someone “worse off” or not – your issue is big to you and big for your family, so it matters!!! I know we had to pay the IRS due to an […]

    Jane – When I find the magic wand, I promise to share…. But remember, I want my tiara!! I am terrified of the dentist too that (and orally-inhaled steriods as a child) is part of why my teeth are icky. I know […]

    I am not quite sure who I ended up calling… LOL, but somehow ended up with the side of the health department that helps the homeless. Maybe this is similar to GA’s program. I know that the program I am on for […]

    I want a magic wand. I want to be able to wave it and “fix” things…. even just little things.

    I want a crystal ball – you know, one of those that tells you what you are supposed to do and when and how. Oooh, […]

    Teri commented on the post, Waiting… 2 months ago

    Jane –

    You, like so many here, have a way with words that so often sums up what I am feeling at times. Waiting bites! ;) You, however, are an awesome advocate for Nicole and although being a caregiver for […]
