Day 194

The last few weeks seem to have sapped a lot of energy from me. Today there were times when I was talking and all of a sudden I couldn’t form the words to say what I wanted. I knew what I wanted to say but my brain malfunctioned or something. This has happened only a couple of times before and it scares me every time it happens because I begin to think about the history of dementia in my family.

Maybe it’s stress? Work has been fine but my mom has to have an imaging study of her stomach done next week. It feels more and more like we’ve switched roles and while I’m happy to do it because I love her, it’s beginning to feel a little overwhelming.
