Last night I was in very bad headspace. Took a muscle relaxer and two ibuprofen before I turned out the light and slept for six solid hours. Got up to answer a demand from my kidneys ("Make room! Make room!"), then went back to bed and zonked for another two and a half hours. Must be the time change catching up to me ( Read more... )

On Monday's at 9 pm, I watch "American Pickers" on the History Channel. Cool finds. I have also gotten stuck on "Pawn Stars" immediately following at 10 pm on same channel.
Tonight is a new NCIS and then at 10 pm, "Southland" on TNT. We watched a marathon and got caught up on it- great show- sort of a cross between the old "Hill Street Blues" and "The Shield." I guess it was on NBC and they dropped it so TNT picked it up.
Can't wait until "Madmen" comes back on AMC this summer. That is another great show- lots of 60's clothing, furniture, hairdos, etc.

I adore American Pickers! I was really surprised that they overpaid for the old car they bought last week. Not that I have $5500, but if I did, I'd buy it at that price. But then, I'm crazy. 'Pickers is shown twice more on Monday/Tuesday...if you check the schedule, there's another showing at 11 or 12, and one around 2 or 3 AM. You can always tape or DVR it if you have the box. (I'm really hoping to work up more interest in Trauma.)

Sadly, I don't have the box. Cable bill is high enough with standard cable and the internet. I can barely stay awake until 10 pm so I doubt I'd catch the repeats.
I am not sure I can commit to another show right now! ha ha I also feel like I am over hospital shows for the meantime. Sort of got burned out after ER- tried Grey's Anatomy for a bit but it didn't capture my attention.
Anyhoo- have a good week!

I'd like to think so, too.

Kat's dementia was of fairly gradual onset. At first it was repeating herself a lot, which I thought came from living with her mother, who also has dementia---she's in her 90s---then persistant aphasia and forgetfulness. She chalked it up to the chemo, which apparently can also play tricks. This happened over the course of the last two-three years, then last spring, she had an MRI done, and mild dementia was diagnosed. The neurologist prescribed a patch to help with it...Kat kept up with it for a couple months, then gave up on it. That was when I knew it was over, that she'd stopped fighting; and sure enough, her mental state and her physical state went downhill from there. It was only the last nine months or so that it was really bad---that was heart-breaking enough.

I'm sorry about your mom, too. I hope you can heal enough to remember the happy times before her illness.
