It’s been quite a while since I’ve Blogged. I’m still doing ok and spending most of my time with my friends and family. And Rusty too of course! I’m also spending time with the twins at Kristen’s house. They are getting so big and I love every minute with them. They give me so much joy💖
This year we had a smaller team for our Walk2EndAlz but we still raised a lot of money. I was also so happy to see some of my Intel buddies. Many thanks to Gail for driving out to Danville. And of course Scott Harrison who was with us too. The twins loved everyone and I’m so glad we got a lot of pictures.
Earlier I flew out to New Jersey with my friend Monika. My other friend - who is also named Monica- lives there and we had such a wonderful time swimming in the ocean and having fabulous meals. I’m so thankful for these getaways! I love my home and my family and friends but it’s always nice to do something different! I did miss my kitty Rusty but I survived.
When I’m at home I spend time reading and resting. I still have headaches and need to lay down most days. I did go through a sleep study and they think I might have sleep apnea 😞 I have another session in a few weeks and I think they will give me a CPAC! I’m not very happy about that and I’m also very claustrophobic, but if it helps me sleep better and might reduce my headaches, I think I should probably do it. What I would really like is to get rid of my headaches! So I will do what the doctor says, and hope things will be better for me.
We did connect with our doctor at UCSF and he’s trying to get me on the drug Lequmbi. I have an MRI scheduled at UCSF in early February. We’ll see what happens after that!
Most recently, on December 6 Diablo Magazine and the East Bay Leadership Council, along with presenting sponsors, Contra Costa Oncology, Kaiser Permanente, and Wells Fargo, hosted the 2023 Threads of Hope event at the Lesher Center for the Arts. I was one of the honoraries, and it was wonderful honor and a lovely ceremony. After the event we enjoyed dinner at Skippolini’s pizza in Downtown Walnut Creek with all of our invited guests.
So I guess that’s my update for now. I’m tired and have a headache (as usual) so I’m going to lay down and rest. My Alzheimer’s is definitely progressing But I just take it one day at a time. I take a rest and if I feel ok I hang out with my friends and my family. And the twins too of course. I love every minute with them. I’m trying to go with the flow if I don’t feel well.
The good news is tennis is on again, so I’ll be watching Rafa, Carlos Alcaraz, Naomi, Ons, you know all of them! And of course My Favorite❤️ Coco Geoff.
Thanks to all of you for your support and your donations for the Alzheimer’s walk earlier this year. God bless you all🙏🏼
