Alzheimer’s/Dementia

each step

3 Positives:
a pretty good night’s sleep overall
no midnight awakening
The car is back and looks pretty darn good.

My Journey Notes:
Pre-registration for Monday’s appointment completed. New app, new forms to complete as not much carried over from the old app. Review of some insurance claims and it’s nice to know that pre-authorization for one of my meds is no longer needed. SWEET! Now, just to get the pharmacy to stop ??? the scrip. To-do list fell by the wayside yesterday afternoon. Found myself not getting anywhere on anything. Stared at a “construction” sheet of something I’d done before and couldn’t fathom how to do it. Hoping today will be a better day overall in the studio – there’s one project I need to finish up today. We also have some preps to do before family dinner tomorrow – and another run to the store to pick up a few things for our contribution to the meal ….

be mindful of who you are…

3 Positives:
October ministering cards designed, printed, cut and assembled – and early enough to focus on some other projects on my list
Made progress on another project and updated calendars and planner for the next couple of months
All but one load of laundry done – the rest folded and put away

My Journey Notes:
Snafu with the migraine meds resolved yesterday and it is ready for pick up. YIPPEE and another scrip written and in the file for next month. Tight window today due to scheduling but hubby should be able to pick it up after lunch. Pharmacy hours aren’t working with our schedule at the moment.

self-care

3 Positives:
not all “experiments” fail
time in the studio was well spent
good food

My Journey Notes:
Another round of issues with the migraine med. Hmmm. Spent time on the phone with the clinic but not sure that got us anywhere since my dr’s office was closed for the day and no one on call to leave a message with. Same problem as before with the insurance not approving the scrip as written — UGH! Calling the pharmacy this morning to see what the “damages” are and make sure we can get it picked up this evening, as there’s a change in the weather moving in and the barometer is doing it’s thing — the med does take the edge off a bit on the barometer migraines. Tylenol isn’t cutting it! I have one pill left!
