2023: I DON'T NEED A THERAPIST

The title is where my head started with this process.

2023: How are you?

Sometimes life is too much of things that aren't invited and beyond the control of my structured life. I had a meltdown and it involved a lot of cursing.

2023: Full Day

I am sure that you all have full days, this arena just happens to be where I am going to complain about mine.

2023: He's been worse

Crazy journey over the past 18 hours with my husband. You will notice my voice varies. The first segment is fresh out of the hospital (my voice is filled with fear and worry) and the second portion is after work a few hours later. Thank God bumbles bounce.

2023: Calm After the Storm

The title is the description. #WOW.. what a few weeks.

2023: Hallways of Hospitals long past: Flashback

I wouldn't be able to talk about today's hallways without the memories of the others... there are hallways in my past, present and certainly in my future. Hallways that I don't want to see. But it will be okay--it always is.

2023: Be prepared, rehabilitation edition

So just a note.. even with my preparation and diligence, I was still at the rehabilitation center at 12midnight to talk with the nurses and explain the protocol for medications, he need for interaction, that he has "sundowners syndrome" and to just love him.

2023: Bullshit referrals

2023: Angry and Lonely

I was bullied and tried to channel the energy the following day. This is a two part discussion, so you might hear an audio variation. There is a reference to Leonard Cohen - Dance Me To The End of Love, take a moment to search and listen.

It's just too quiet!

Fill your head with music, podcasts or prayer! Don' resent, just adapt. https://amzn.to/4gt0NXU
