I'm sorry. This entry won't be humorous. I'm not feeling very humorous right now.
Our day has been filled with trying to get numerous samples of "specimens". We came home from a Dr.'s visit yesterday with several jars, sticks, and instructions.
There she goes...I'll be back.
This blog site was created for everyone to be included in our daily/weekly matters. It's up to you all if you want to know our matters! It amazes me, and frustrates me quite a bit, that Kay rises to the occasion for a doctor appt. Or, visitors. The doctor doesn't see what we see!!! Visitors don't see what we see! I trust that the doctor knows what to look for and I trust that God knows when to call her home or tell her to stay awhile. I am thankful that I've learned the skills to be attentive to Kay's needs.
If any one is interested in investing in stocks...take a look at the rubber glove industry, Clorox wipes or Depends. We'll help you out!

Sarah, I hear you. My mother did exactly the same thing in her last years. The doctors who saw her and the visitors who talked to her insisted that she was "just fine!" and there was nothing at all wrong with her. They didn't have to live with her 24/7, so I know exactly what you're going through. No, it isn't humorous; no way can you look at everything as "just another quirk" or in a "this too shall pass", mindset. Yes, it will pass, but while you're going through it you feel as if caught in quicksand in the middle of the swamp, and no one can hear you. I hear you; I wish I had the strength and energy to give you the help you need. But at the very least know that my prayers are with you every day, and they will be answered.
Hi Sarah...
Thinking about you alot today. You are such am amazing person! Have I mentioned that?! How in the world did Tim snag you?! :-)
Cindy was reading your entry and crying... lots of memories, lots of feelings, lots of stuff "flying around" in the emotional ether.
I hope you will find encouragement in some way today... man do we all need it.
BTW, I "gave up" on having a straight diagnosis or the doctors "seeing" stuff a long time ago. It took me a year or two to figure out that Mom WILL NOT self diagnose. It's not an ornery thing... she won't even remember the ache and pain that she's been discussing with you all week when she's at the doctor. We were very fortunate to find an MD / specialist who was VERY familiar with issues surrounding geriatric care. We would observe Mom and then pass on our rundown of symptoms, etc for the doctors. They were very appreciative (docs aren't God, they can't go on what they don't know) and were able to better help Mom as a result.
I know you know this stuff... just hope it helps to hear it from someone who's "been there done that".
Grace to you,
Tom & Cindy
