Happy and healthy in Cincinnati! That's how I feel and how I'm working and planning for the time here to be, one day at a time. I had a wonderful reunion with my Mom. She was so happy to see me, show me off to her friends here and spend time together. She was very with it at times, and confused at others, but it was a good reunion non the less. Today, I'll meet with her nurse, then take mom to lunch and her dr. I'll know more about how much the Alzheimer's has progressed after today's appts and tomorrow's with moms social worker. She seems happy, and happily in denial about her memory issues. I choose not to press it, as I know it's how she copes.
And I'm feeling particularly good again, knowing I'm in such a better place myself than the past trips here since the Alzheimer's really took hold. It hit me again as I drove home from my workout this morning that taking care of me is really making it easier to take care of mom, and it's so cyclical as knowing I'm doing a good job with my mom makes me feel even better about who I am.
So, knowing who I am and the best way to start my day, I'll do so praying for serenity. And I'll pray, breathe, journal, stay curious and express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought and emotion. I'm so very grateful for each of wonderful you, all the love and support you shower on me always and especially on these more trying times, my family & IRL friends, being reunited with my mom, feeling good about me and that I'm doing my best taking care of mom, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love!
