A friend of mine sent my latest blog re Mac's stay in hospital etc to another friend, so she emailed me right away to say now she is up to date, so the folloing is what I wrote to her
So now you know the story so that's good...I'm sure you can continue to follow the ups and downs of mac's memory now on the blog...It's kind of a way to keep my mind on just what's happening as well as letting family and friends be aware as well. I'll send you the url... Now I need to know how you are doing in your new digs...I have been in the Belvedere building, visited a woman from Teapot, she is lovely lady - June - on 4th floor ...so I can picture your surroundings and apartment, she has a 2 bedroom. She is a volunteer worker at the Karolyns Kloset Mondays at the Teapot.
Hope you are able to get to the lake today, it's glorious out there, and depending on mac's walking ability ..which doesn't look too good, we will try to get out in our little back garden or the park right in back of us. he spent yesterday in bed - would not eat or drink anything all day, so as you know if you read my blog, this is a real switch from the day before...
Today he is here in my apartment with much talk of feeling shaky, not with it, etc..but he did have breakfast and is sitting in his chair listening to cbc music - eyes closed - head nodding to the rhythm of Glen Gould's version of ..Brahm's E minor concerto -with a disclaimer by Bernstein conductor. Hope you are enjoying it too. Mac's love of all music, but particularly classic and jazz are a saving grace in his sometimes sad/happy journey for the past 7 years
The current situation is he will,( if he is able) - spend the days here in our apartment - the nights in a room on the 2nd floor...giving me the opportunity for a good night's sleep, well that is working fairly well,..that is, if he settles down o.k. but as we know it's one day at a time. If he is not able to be in our apartment,eithe because he will not get up - like yesterday, or he is ill then he will stay on the second floor where he has care and I can be free to be with him or not -;as there are nurses and preposees on that floor able to check him; , but, I still have my persons to stay with him when I go out for any length of time...as I want him to have individual attention. Thankfully both ladies, Debbie and Cecilia, love him and are there for both of us. - new computer - has been a problem, the guy is supposed to come next Friday - have to go on webnet, so please let me know if you receive this asap....thanks
Well we are going to try to go out for a tiny walk in the park-mac has refused lunch, coffee,chocolate -and I'm making up for his abstinence by eating everything he refuses...damn. bye now
