The No Good Long Very Bad Day

First, last week I had oral surgery, which, as a person with Alzheimer's is extremely difficult and made me very anxious! After a week, I thought time to get my haircut and colored! The cut was great! I went lighter just to freshen up but that was a BIG mistake! My husband hated it and my daughter said I looked like a famous rapper with the same name as the candy M&M. So I went to lunch at Panera, which I love but I cried the whole time. They told me to stop but the more they told me the harder I cried.

The next day I went with my husband to the doctor and he was diagnosed with a serious form of cancer. So I reached out to our middle daughter because she's tenderhearted, and she made me laugh so hard! I had almost forgotten how to laugh.

When I asked her if I could stay with her in NC she said No way! She said that I have PT, speech, an aide, and a nurse that help me every week and that I would be very bored at her place. I was sad, but I know she is 💯 right! I love my staff, and they keep me on track. I already booked my hair appointment to color it dark again. My husband and my daughter don't want me to change anymore than I already have changed. I understand that it is hard for them.
