She has had an episode or two of dizziness, that, although the doctors say they can't find anything out of the ordinary, is very concerning. The scary part of her having an issue is that she can't tell me what exactly is wrong. Her language has REALLY diminished in the past few months.
Just a few examples of this are -
"make my face" and "gonna mash me" meant "I will wash my hands"
"pull it down" meant "do you want me to lock the door?"
"what time does that go there" meant "where does this coffee cup go?"
The same coffee cup that she has been getting for a year, and until last week posed no problems or questions.
She has confusion in the mornings at times, but enough awareness to know something is wrong, then feels guilty and stupid. So far, just talking it out or making a joke has swept it aside, but I can see a time where that will no longer work.
She still loves rides in the truck. That is probably her favorite thing to do. I wish she had a hobby or two to fall back, as now there is NOTHING. She used to sew. Now she just lets me know there are socks that need darned. She used to cook but that is long gone.
She is a shell of herself, but the part that remains is the best of her. She is happy, easy to smile and laugh, compassionate, and loving. Who can complain about that?
Not me....
