As I wrote briefly before, and as many of you now know, Rock Knocker has Alzheimer’s and I have been taking care of him. That can take many forms, of course, and a bit over a week ago, it took yet another form.
A week ago Sunday, RK woke up not feeling well. During the day, he vomited. He couldn’t eat or drink. Monday morning he was still sick and vomited again. I started packing for him and for me and for two dogs. I called ahead and made a reservation with the Carmel Mission Inn. That is where I have been since last Monday, a week ago. He is in CHOMP getting the great care they are known for.
My focus, for now, is on him. He had surgery for a blockage on Friday and is recovering. I’ll be back when I can.
Take care of yourself too. Many caregivers forget to do that. Sending positive energy your way
You are kind to share. One tough journey. . . ❤️
Oh, Kate, my heart and my prayers are with you both ❤️❤️
Arms around you my friend.
Thinking positively for you both.
Oh Kate, I’m so sorry. I know how hard this can be, mentally and emotionally.
And you do it with such grace. I hope you both are released soon. Sending prayers for you.
oh dear. take good care and good health to the both of you.
Hugs and blessings to you and RK.
Hi Kate. All my best regards and thoughts to both of you and to his care and recovery. Mark
Prayers for you both. Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s is not easy. I’m sure you have great doctor’s but Dr. Lancelot Alexander is the most amazing Neurologist we have had the opportunity to work with. He is in Monterey by the hospital. I made my mom a book of her life and I believe it has kept her connected longer. She looks at almost daily. She says it brings her right back. We also have a “Skylight” that everyone sends photos and videos to. She loves feeling connected to her family all over the world. The best to you.
Keeping good thoughts and prayers for you both. Also Please take care of yourself.
I’m sending healing thoughts and hugs..he’s blessed to have you.( A strong and determined lady!)
Oh Kate, Best wishes for Rock Knocker and Peace and Calm and Comfort for you.
Sending love and all best wishes, Kate.
I hope you are spending time with friends. Much love.
Kate, I am praying for Rock Knocker and you. May Rock Knocker receive the healing he needs and may you both find peace, courage and strength. Thank you for all that you do.
Oh Kate, I hadn’t heard about RK and your situation…doggone it…. Big hugs to you all xoxoxoxoxox
