So you’ve heard of the Twist, Jive, etc.
Have you ever done the Flip/Flop?
It may not be dancing but my tummy is flip flopping like crazy over the last couple weeks.
Seeing our trusty MD ( one of the best in the whole, wide world – second only to Doc) next week to see if he can talk some sense into it and/or me. Maybe he will have to bring out his magic pen and pad – I have never taken any meds thru this journey – he suggested trying to “grieve” thru it – so I did, stumbling my way over sand, rocks and now boulders.
This brought back memories of Wayne – we would agree to meet someplace after work for a meal or whatever. When he appeared, my heart would do a flip flop – loving him so. Hon, I guess it’s fitting my tummy now flip flops for/over you.

I’ll be thinking of you as you make your visit. I hope you get some answers for yourself as well as Wayne.
I’m just watching the weather now, and it looks like Hanna might brush the east coast of Florida. I’m on the west coast, and the state isn’t that wide, so I’m sure we’ll get some wind and rain again.
Keep safe – I’ll be thinking of you and watching CNN.
Oh, I know what you mean about the flip-flops. It was nicer when your heart was flip-flopping with love and anticipation for the dinner and evening (or whatever) ahead.
Now, it’s different. Life changes. Good luck and god bless. I hope both of you get some relief.
Good luck with your appointment with your doctor.
Prayers and hugs for both of you.

Jean, I hope you have a good talk with your doctor about you. If there are meds that will help you feel better, and a little more peaceful, I would certainly give them a try. As a caregiver, you need to feel the best that you can.
I wish my Mom would consider meds. She was diagnosed with shingles (on the left side of her head and forehead!)last week, and I don’t doubt that it stems from the constant stress she feels about my Dad. As soon as she’s “over” the shingles, I’m going to broach the topic of anti-depressants again.
Praying for you and Wayne.
Love, Laura
Jean: Thanks for your kind vote of confidence!
It’s one thing to grieve through it but perhaps you and your TMD could find a way to make it easier (easy seems kind of simple-minded doesn’t it in the face of your family’s daily struggle with dementia). It’s all crazy-making, but perhaps a little ‘chemical perspective’ could make it less so.
