I run into a lot of people who say "you can't have dementia you seem fine to me"... Well they don't see me on days like today. Days that I am totally overwhelmed with the simplest of tasks. Still recovering from surgery a month ago and the aftereffects.
It's so easy for people to say I'll just go for a walk, do something good for yourself to make yourself feel better. When all I want to do is crawl up in a chair with my Blankey and block out the world. I hate nonfunctioning days, I don't like being confused by things that I used to do with no thought, but now they so overwhelmed me that I can't even begin to think about doing them. Hate the disease but love the person. No love or support or anything else is going to help me through this, but me. It's going to be right foot left foot keep moving forward and on until I'm on the other side of this.
Acceptance is the key, acceptance is the key for me living in this life with this disease. Also accepting that I'm going to have days like today. There's always tomorrow, there's a possibility of coming out of this in another couple hours. But I have to take it as it comes, because it is what it is. One thing is for sure, I hate the negative side of this condition. I am not a negative person, I am a positive person glass half full,
Going to lite my favorite candle, put on some of my soothing lotion, and do some prayer and meditation to see if I can quiet my mind.
