Re: Balance & Memory

February 27, 2012

From what i have seen with my , there is a lot of confusion. , my

sister in law (the one with the cancer) had balance trouble very badly. But not

until late. She couldn't stand and walk 3 feet without falling.

I am sure this isn't really comforting, but it is the truth. If nothing else i

will tell you the truth about my experiences. I am not sure how much help they

will be for you, although.

dog, I tipped and ripped the shower curtain off. Today, I can't even begin to

tell you how confused I was. It started with me getting up at 9:00am, coming to

have a bowl of cereal because that helps me sleep. My phone rang and I picked

it up, thinking - why would Wayne (client) call me in the evening on a Sunday.

I did remark to him that it sure was light outside. So, off I go to bed. Slept

another 3 hrs and then, boy was I ever confused. I knew something was wrong;

because, I don't live in the Arctic and I'm sure the northern lights don't make

it so light outside. It took me at least 1/2 hr before I could twig onto the

truth.

taken my anti-depressant. I only went out because my printer didn't have ink

and I had some printing to do. Part of me feels a little scared and the other

part says no - I will be independent right up until " I " decide. You see, I live

in my 39' Fifth Wheel out here in a place of security and serenity. But, some

of the family thinks I need to get closer to town. You know - it takes me 15

mins to get to either 2 towns. Geez, in the city you would pray you could get

somewhere in an hour.
