FUNCTIONING...DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES...
FUNCTIONING...DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES...
Early on, I could not function...AT ALL
I could not:
Eat
Sleep
at one point TALK
I did not bathe on a regular basis - and that is not like me at all...I love a good shower, in fact I need one to loosen up and I need one before bed too...that went out the window for about a month - yes, I bathed but not daily...shhhhh don't tell anyone
Dishes piled up
Laundry forget about it...
Cat Box peeeeyoooo...stinky stinky
Fish tank...it's a miracle from heaven they survived!
it all went to hell...
and NOW Michele has one giant big mess and she feels better emotionally but now the body has decided to work against her...
BUT - the reality is, Michele can do a little bit each day but this is just so overwhelming for her...
A MOUNTAIN of papers...bills, letters, all important just piled high in one great big heap.
I didn't address them because I knew that in some cases, I'd have to talk on the phone most likely placed on hold, indefinate hold then forwarded ninety five different places...you know how that referral fatigue works...
AND so I made sure to pay my rent, my phone bill and my internet provider service bill - my son's tuition and his bus...BUT Michele's life is scattered ALL OVER HER HOUSE?
Anyone else go through this?
I'm ready to dig in.
Newbies, I'd hate for you to be where I am.
I note the "vets" are up to exercising...and I encourage you to exercise but Michele can't really because of her condition...so washing a dish will be my exercise.
Anyone want to join a cleanliness is next to G-dliness group to help motivate eachother to address the mounting dustbunnies?
Share on this thread some of your challenges and maybe we can get it together one step at a time.
P.S. I am pleased to report I'm back on my personal hygene routine...and my son is actually coming in closer proximity now that I've mended my ways...LOL
Hugs!
