It's been a month since I've posted anything. Jan 11th was the last posting--the day I saw my PCP with my list of health issues. Happy to note that I've been sleeping. Been taking Ambien CR with Ativan and the PD medication. Lots has happened over the month I've not been posting. Son from SoCal and his family stepped in and helped me (are still helping me) sort through the chaos that I created by not sleeping for over a month.

I'm weak but back on track now--seeing the doctors, taking my meds, sleeping and resting, getting assistance several times a week with food, shopping, getting to appointments, and so forth. Have a delightful friend of the family coming by on M-W-Fr who fixes a hot lunch and visits for a while.

I'm starting to walk some each day and hopefully can start taking the bus to stores and appointments.

We (my son and I and his family) decided that I would hang here in my apartment for a while before contemplating a move. Rent was raised only $25/mo. and place is near everything.

Got a bed so I'm not camping out any more and have someone coming in to clean once a month and handle laundry. So, I'm back on the healing path, but with meds this time around.

Not sleeping really sent me into a spin. Don't want to go there again.

Lots of details missing from this catch-up note--but onward and upward! Will retrace as it arises!

Friend P dropped by today. We went to Shoreline Park and had lunch at the lakeside cafe. I had a patty melt (was good). We ate and walked and talked. Hadn't seen her for over 2 months--right before my meltdown. Was a bright and sunny day!
