Started at 5am when my trusty sidekick sensed me slithering out of bed and leapt out to get dressed lest he be left behind. Networking together we went! I’ve been feeling somewhat disassociated as some kind of defense mechanism I guess as hints of stage 7, the finale, manifest. I fall into bed at 8pm completely drained emotionally, my gut in knots and wonder if I have the stamina to stay the course and pay the corresponding toll as I walk him home. Tomorrow I have an appointment with IHSS to see what help we qualify for. Certainly I cannot do this alone. #alzheimerssucks #earlyonsetalzheimers
