Hi Everyone!Once again, I'm waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy over due with my blog!! We made it home safely with no tickets even. We kept our cruise control on. It made it more relaxing for us that way. We got back to work on September 11th. and even though we enjoy our little jobs, coming back was a bit tiring. I ended up sick after the first week with a sinus infection. That took almost a whole two weeks to get over, but I made sure that I got lots of rest!!
I got to work early, on my first day back to work and went in to see my Dad. When I go into the area that he lives in, I try to see if he's going to notice/recognize me before I say anything to him. Well, he didn't notice, but that's okay. I'm glad that he wasn't worried about where I was. We brought back some salt water taffy from the eastern shore. He was happy to have some of that. He still loves his sweets. He's doing all right, but his mind is getting much worse. I have to admit that the majority of the time, he doesn't know who I am when I approach him. I attend an Alzheimer's support group meeting each month and that helps, a lot! I have let go of the caregiving that I used to give him. I let that facility do it all now. All of what's happening to him is "normal," I just have to keep that foremost in my mind.
