personal dementia...

MAY 29, 2012
 
I am feeling like I have dementia myself. I guess you get that when you care for one with dementia. The last week has been really stressful. I tell myself, one day at a time. Today E. tried to escape from the facility we had to place her in last week. She got all the way to a gate, but lost her balance and fell in the mud. Good thing she didn’t get out to the street… I think if I was put in such a place I would react similarly. Praying for her, that she could adjust… the other day she cut up her dress and my poor brain has been trying ever since to make sense out of it. Not happening. Won’t happen. Getting my brain to stop trying is a different matter. I keep finding myself thinking of it.
Add insomnia to the mix. I think I am pushing myself to stay awake. I don’t understand that either. 🙂

About Me

My photo
just a crafty grandma experimenting with all sorts of things. My main interests are paper craft of any kind and quilting/sewing. But I've done leatherwork, polymer clay, on-the-wheel pottery, painted molded ceramics, papier mache, stained glass, plaster casting, linoleum printing, paper making... you name it, I've probably tried it. A few I actually stuck with. :)
