good am

Well no alarms were needed this am. The rain took over. Did it pour.
It was a long day yesterday.1st Em at the vets,then a day of work ending with Em again. In between I pulled a muscle in my back.( how I did it is any ones guess). Bad enough I was crying trying to take care of the guys and their cages.

My husband and daughter came through. The cages are connected to pens. They had to be cut apart.So cleaning, disassembling, and moving into the house was an event.

I am so happy with my vet, she is a very concerned about Em. She called later with ideas to help. So we increased her meds, and are doing hot compresses.
I am very happy also with Em she just laid there and held her own hot towel.Picture posted.
She is sitting here on the sofa with me this morning looking much better.

Well on to dad. He really has no clue how bad Em is. He knows something is up, he just laughs. This is not to be taken as not caring. Dementia comes out in many ways.
Parkinson's obviously affects the brain. The shaking every one sees is just the beginning. If it was only that.
They are now saying that people (dad) can not process facial expressions or the tone in your voice. So you may be pissed off while he stands there staring at you with a blank face or laughing. Your first reaction is more anger. How dare he laugh at me. Then you remember he has no idea your angry. His brain could have just said "wow look how much fun she is having"
Another 10 deep breaths!
Dad has another issue that drives me insane. FOOD /////////
He either attempts to eat an entire cake at one sitting or complains the pasta is to tough. This is after munching on a bag of Doritos. Go figure.
So last nite I here him in the kitchen complaining to Brian the chicken legs had to many bones(Now Brian is taking those deep breaths).

So I quickly joined in and complained how tough the creamed corn was.
