I am hanging in there, still sick (of course) but not relapsed. Decent okay days and horrible days, but luckily just crash days. We celebrated my dad's birthday last week, and I still help him manage life on a daily basis. He is hanging in there too. I'm happy he's nearby, but sometimes being his main companion takes a lot out of me.
I came across this article not long after my mom died. I saw it again today and started crying...it's a really good to read if you've lost your mom (or a close loved one): https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/mar/03/we-dont-lose-our-mothers-reality-more-violent-that-that?CMP=fb_gu
My course finished yesterday and I have a week to mark all the assignments and get my grades in, it will be a challenge. I'm so glad this is almost over, I took on way too much with a six week condensed course, even an online one. I am not well enough to manage it. I'm sure I don't need to justify this fact to this crowd (thankfully). Right now things are "spinny" and "off" just looking at this screen, my brain is past processing today. Not that there haven't been good parts, there have been! It's just doing something this intense is too much given my health.
The past week I've been mostly living on the couch watching a lot of Olympics. I invented a word for the hours I'm spending in this semi-vegetative state. I call it Olympitose, get it? :)
