I awoke at the usual time, 6:15, to test Sidney's glucose and give her her insulin shot. Then I went back to bed, as I usually do, to sleep for a couple of extra hours. I was lying down and had a miserable allergy attack, coughing and choked up and it would not stop. Ugh, I hate when that happens. After nearly an hour of coughing and clearing my throat I gave up, got out of bed, and here i am. I've decided I'm going to take some ZzzQuil and hopefully sleep for a few hours. I had an appointment scheduled with my therapist for this afternoon, but I cancelled. Besides being very tired I just don't really have anything to talk with her about, and it feels to me like such a long drive over there.
I did call my sister yesterday. She's 18 years older than I am (same parents). It was so good to talk with her. But when I hung up I sat and cried for a bit. She had a small stroke last summer and she's, I don't know, not the same. She's a very intelligent, bright woman and now she cannot recall a lot of information. Her conversational skills are impaired, as far as continuity...we'll be talking about something, then all of a sudden she jumps to an entirely different train of thought. Following her was difficult. I felt scared and so sad. But I had to pull myself up and be thankful for our time together during the call.
Well, it's (hopefully) back to sleep for me.  Hugs all around.
I hope Pinny, Jane, and Christina check in today. It's been a while and I'm wondering how everyone is doing. And Blue - How did Miss M.'s spay go?
