Daze without end--and daze keeping counting. Eight daze since my last post--coming up on a week of chaos and lost daze.

Skipping the details--tomorrow I have a pre-op meeting with the colon doctor. Then in another 8 daze--I go in for the surgery. I am not looking forward to that adventure--but the wheels are in motion and the daze will arrive quickly and for certain.

MD's activities are settling into a somewhat pattern--but she is still not truly mobile and able to get along without caregivers in attendance. That activity overlays issues with my daughter's family--and the reverb that is producing in the already stressed events.

Of course, there are the regular activities--schools, gymnastics, meals, tasks, and a whole lot more. And there are the people in the distance who want to be kept updated on everything--and so it goes.

BH is acting out more and more--I think he is stressed by all of the chaos and the shifting of patterns for him and others. He is being shifted around in order for the adults to maintain schedules (to some degree)--he is only 2 years old.

And JS is also feeling the drift--and adding her turmoil into the mix. She is not the star of the show any more--and she's battling back against that reality and not backing away gracefully.
