I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part. I saw a big difference in my mother with her new medication. But four days later, it was back to the days from hell! Yes, I know it's just the disease that is causing all this chaos that I go through every afternoon and sometimes all day. But how do you get a person to shut their mind down from worrying, fear and anxiety?
She actually knows, if she takes a good nap everyday, a lot of this is manageable, but she doesn't nap long and I'm alone to live with it.
Fast forward to today, two weeks later and finally, she napped for 2 hours and an hour and half of that, I got to nap! I can't to begin to tell you how good it felt. I have been so tired for so long and I pray I can get more days like today.
Most don't know, but I'm a sleeper and I love to sleep. I believe it is one of the main reasons I have a hard time handling the changes that mom goes through. Didn’t realized until this moment that I am sleep deprived.
I pray the Lord will give us more days like today, and will take advantage of it to give my body and mind the rest it truly needs. I can get with that type of groundhog day!
Change the times...
