I've been gone for about a week. Things have been pretty rough. My father, who is in the first stages of Alzheimer's, was admitted to the hospital in critical condition last Friday. He was eventually diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Yesterday he was discharged. My mother went to get the car to pick him up at the lobby doors and fell in the parking lot. She fractured her arm, wrist and skull around her eye orbit. I have had to do a lot of care taking the last couple months with my parents (my mom also has had 2 surgeries and a mini-stroke in the last 2 months). I am just under so much pressure at work and in my own life I am beginning to feel overwhelmed. While I've been at my parents the past week, I haven't had my meds and I think it's beginning to affect me. I went home today to pick them up and hope it might help a little. It just seems like everything is piling up at once. I could use some good thoughts. Thanks everyone for letting me rant.
