Our Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson disease journey...done

-

 

The last few weeks all I could feel was I was DONE...done with moving, done with two homes, done with messes everywhere, done with hubby's diseases, done with running to doctors....and then daughter steps in and virtually slaps me and says..."stop...get it together and get things done"...just what I needed...I went back to work...house on 10th got done and ready for pics....yard work got done....hubby ran to doctor got knees drained done....starting to concentrate on new home and instead of climbing over things I was beginning to make things work. Sold the big old stove and that made more room...took the money went to Home Depot and purchased more kitchen cupboards and got them in.....Finally some homes for things. I am beginning to feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I was asked how I liked my new home and all I could do was say "I am so overwhelmed"....I am just moving and doing the things I need to do but my heart is not here. Yes, some of you are saying she sure is feeling sorry for herself...yep....you were right...some are saying...good grief you don't have it so bad and yep you are right...etc...but I had lost my way. I was cranky, moody...exhausted every muscle and bone hurt....I was just moving doing what I had to do. So sorry...sorry if I offended anyone...but today I am back. Yes I helped pack at 200-300 pound wood stove out of the house with a man not much bigger than me.,..no hubby couldn't help. Yes, son was not happy at me for doing it. But the man needed it and I hated it so it was going. I put all my strength into moving it and I think that is what broke me. I had to help pick it up 3 feet and help him put it into the back of his pickup...I was giving out...everything hurt and hubby came out...his Parkinson was making his whole left side shake...he was walking real slow from the blood work on his knees...he grabbed my side and took over...where he got the strength I don't know but he did. He was still there when I needed him. He came even though he has two diseases and had his knees worked on. It made me cry. He came through for me so I need to pick up myself and get it back together for him. We are a team. We got this...now time to get our mo- jo back and make this home a home. God bless all and thank you for prayers....

Removing and replacing our old pathway

-

 We moved into our home about 15 years ago at that time we decided to place a walkway down through the yard to a firepit.  Our family loves to sit around the backyard fire and roast hotdogs and marshmallows.  We haven't done much to the walkway except spray it once in a while with weed kill but today we decided it was time to remove and repair.  So we began to dig out the bricks..it was amazing how some were buried and some were broken.  They all were beginning to sink down deeper and deeper. There was a lot of moss that had even grown over the top of them.  But hubby and I worked together and got them all dug up.  The pathway went from the deck to the firepit ring.  All of these bricks have been recycled we would watch for free ones.  Sometimes just driving down the road there would be bricks with a sign take all you want.  So some of these bricks have different says on them.  We also enjoy using our dutch ovens....

  I don't know if any of you facing these diseases have these problems, but I need to talk with the neurologist for some answers...mercy. Hubby has this crazy idea that he needs to search the house for things. I purchase a new vacuum because the belt broke on the old one. I got the same one but decided to keep one for downstairs and one for upstairs. So I put the old one way back in the furnace room until I can fix it and the new one up front easy to get to. Hubby is determined to climb back there and always get the old one. He moves the new one to get to the old one. I hide some shampoo that I wanted to give to daughter as it doesn't work good for hubby and I. He finds it somehow and starts using it. I hide some spray paint its the kind that will change a object into a mirror...he found it and sprayed it on lumber in the yard. Mercy...drives me crazy. Just saying....I told him we are going to Nampa on Thursday...to see the doctor. He got really mad that night at me b...
