I think everyone here knows you well enough to know if you’re sounding un-beck-like, it’s medical, not personal, so please don’t worry about that end. More important, if the Grand-wreks know to get help if you sound really weird, does that mean WE (or someone here) should do the same? I hope your doc will refer you to someone who can help with the brain fog if he/she doesn’t have treatment ideas. You’ve got lots of people who love you here. We’re not going to get our knickers in a knot if you sound uncharacteristically surly. ---

Oh, @nelliebly, your words make me misty eyed. It’s nice to know people understand you enough to know these things. And it’s very nice to know you care. My family are doing their best, although they may have alittle bit of drama-fatigue. Lately it seems every few days I’m having a crisis of some sort. Of course the grand-wrex are with me everyday. I hate to be a sick puppy around them all the time, so I try harder. Believe me it helps to be motivated. You are a sweet lady. Thank you. ---

Not sweet-- just reporting the facts, ma’am. 🙂 I can see how the grand-wrex would be motivation. They sound like a happy, lively, loving bunch. And don’t forget Bayliss! And Clarence! Nobody else understands a possum that ain’t right. Fact is, we all need you. We just didn’t know it until you showed up. You hang in there, missy. We’re counting on you. ---

Do you know what sad is? I’m at dialysis. I’m having an unusually clear day. No fog. No crampy cramps. I got a good smoothie. It’s very cold this morning. The Dialysis center brought me a"warmed " blanket. How decadent this is. Best thing ever! But it’s sad that I’m sitting here waiting for something to go wrong. 😞 ---

A warm blanket sounds like the best thing for a chilly Monday. ---

I think you are on the right track. You are doing as you have done before, recognizing a problem and asking for help in resolving it. Your friends and relatives can be trusted to speak up. But the caretaker situation is tougher. They can and do suffer burnout so try to be aware of that yourself. Write a yellow post it to yourself. Hugs, Beck. You are not alone. We all love you, care about you and want you to share your warm blanket with us. ---

As you will recall, this is how we got our start. I spent the past few days in hospital and unable to help you, so I am glad you have developed this support network. ---
