We had a big storm last night that knocked the power out several times. New condo, strange noises, I was unable to sleep. Thank goodness my phone and my night light were charged. I managed to sleep a bit on the couch.
Tomorrow will be a big day. I’ll strip the old bed when I get up at 5 to go to the gym. Movers will come to take it away at 9:30. After the bed is gone I am prepping the place for my first ever cleaning lady to come. I will also do my laundry and hang it on my clothes rack on my little terrace. The new bed comes at 1pm. We have sheets, a pillow, and a very light comforter for it.
We have a bunch of errands to do, and we are trying to put together the computer table and get my computer up and running tomorrow.
I have a massage in the middle of all this.
We will probably have to miss visiting Harvey tomorrow. We just don’t have 3 hours tomorrow. Today he was awful – full of vague complaints he couldn’t detail when pressed, and saying ugly things about the people who are trying to help him.
He insisted he wanted to get out of the bed. We tried to explain he’s not strong enough, but he wouldn’t listen. We warned the staff about it when we left. They were aware of this. It’s upsetting to have him act so unlike himself.
Ohhh it is disconcerting to hear that about Harvey. The brain is such an odd but fascinating organ. I often dream and half wake during it thinking I am awake but I am not! I woke up a bit this morning but was still in my dream! I have to wonder now, if that’s the kind of thing that is happening to Harvey? We never want to think any of those things that they say are really happening. We take the word of the caregivers especially when our loved ones say wacky things about us we know aren’t true. Or don’t recognize us or remember our names. Or just can’t vocalize.
I get it, Linda.
I sure think you and Brian are doing your best to keep busy with all you have going on and thus, not overthink Harvey’s care.
I suppose his brain is trying to figure things out, improve, reorganize, or not. But unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do to help his brain with that. At least that we know of, right now.
