Tammy,

You're welcome.. I just hope I didn't scare you at all with some of the stuff I told you.. but I think it's always better to be prepared.. Since my Dx.. I've looked at things this way.. Plan for the worse.. Hope for the best.. At least there's been no real big surprises.. and nobody had to totally scramble to get things done in a hurry..

Sleep when you need to.. and you will find that quite often your body isn't going to keep up with all you want or need to do.. If you don't sleep when you feel the need for it.. it will stress your body out even more.. and the MonSter does NOT like stress.. So definitely rest when you feel the need to.. these spells will pass too.. I've been in a cycle of 2:30 naps lately.. that will eventually go away as well..

My house always used to be messy.. no doubt about that.. and I was never "A place for everything, and everything in its place" type of person.. but my house is always in a constant state of.. the floors needing vacuumed or scrubbed.. toilets needing cleaned (and unfortunately for me.. bathtub needing cleaned as well, when only showers.. so doesn't worry 'bout the "ring around the tub" LOL)... Not being able to find the kitchen table (or counters) most of the time, for the dishes that need washing.. Beds don't get made (why bother, I'm climbing back in for a nap in a few hours anyway.. LOL)..

Unfortunately, living with the MonSter seems to be a constant "druthers" type deal.. If I'm using my walker to get to the car to go out today.. I'm certainly not walking, even with the walker, anywhere in the house for the day.. If I WANT to go to an all day picnic/party and provide the music.. I'm going to spend quite a bit of time following that.. in bed resting.. cause it's going to play me out..

In a lot of our cases.. what we want to do, and what we're up to doing.. don't always coincide.. So we have to learn to pick and choose..

But when all is said and done.. there is rarely a dull moment living with the MonSter..

HUGS
