I have no idea why except that it seems to infect old men but the Beast just HAD to get a bird feeder now. He has noticed birds in the backyard pecking at the ground and decided he wanted to encourage them (and feed them!). He's even started laying out bread to dry every day then throwing it out in the yard in pieces. His one uncle in Florida did the same darn thing and it puzzled his aunt, too. He (and the Beast) had never shown any interest in birds before that time. It must be a *man thing*. LOL!
Encouraging news about my brother...sort of. His EEG and MRI showed the two seizures he had did not injure his brain. It was not caused by a stroke either or there would have been damage. It doesn't rule out dementia, however, since that cannot be detected by either test.
They've been keeping him lightly sedated to prevent him from leaving the bed and falling since he is still disoriented. They will probably stop that tonight since he is having a psych evaluation tomorrow (today) to see if he needs to be kept in the hospital for further psych care and/or if he is suffering from dementia. My poor sister, Bee, is going to have to find him some help when he goes home (if he won't agree to the 30 day inpatient rehab program the doctor wants him to attend). I somehow don't think he will agree to that since he really doesn't think he can't control himself. It's a man thing. Just like they don't think they need to take pills. I think that's why we women live longer than men. We take our pills and watch our diets (most of the time...lol). We WANT to live. Men just think they have to *tough things out*.
My son, Mustachio, is angry with me for things that happened many, many years ago. When he was young. He has this problem with *letting things go* and not reliving them in his mind. We are not the same people and we have more knowledge about life and people now. But I told him if he can't forget, then he should just not have anything to do with me. I wouldn't do any of the things he thinks I would even now with the way I feel about certain things. I hope he decides that I am NOT that person and we continue our friendship. Otherwise, I have no idea what to do. He's being unreasonable right now and unjust.
The Beast has a doctor's appointment in a few hours. He hasn't been well for almost two weeks now. He's been complaining of a headache that comes and goes. It's bad enough that nothing works to relieve it for him. That worries me since he was suffering from chronic headaches just before he had his first stroke. I think it was a warning sign. He just won't stop playing around with taking his pills like he's supposed to. I told him if he had another stroke, I would put him in a nursing home (and I really mean it!). He was a really nasty patient when he was recovering. That's when his doctor nicknamed him *The Beast*. I put up with it then but I won't do it a second time. I DO have feelings. But I have no idea what the doctor will do for what's bothering him. I don't think you can detect an impending stroke except via high blood pressure. Those are the pills he *plays around* with.
Since he hasn't attended church for almost two weeks now, it tells me that he really hasn't been feeling well. He doesn't usually miss any of those meetings. When he feels well, he spends money. I hate the fact that the headaches stop for any length of time. That gives him a false sense of recovering and the opportunity to *shop*. He has a bunch of coupons here that he hasn't gone through yet and that makes him feel like he is *going to take advantage of savings* to compensate for all he spends. However, unless *I* go through them and hand them to him when he goes out the door, he never uses them. Oh well.
It's 45 degrees here right now. It almost feels like winter is just around the corner because of the humidity. I have a bunch of clothes that need washing since it's cooled down. Some of the clothes I haven't worn for several months so they need washing to freshen them up. They've been hanging out in the cottage and they smell weird. There's nothing to control the humidity out there except the crystals the Beast gets once in a while. When he remembers to check to see if they need replacing, that is. It's supposed to be sunny and around 77 today. If so, it will be pleasant outside. I'm looking forward to that since I really want to go over and see everything in Dennis and Diane's house now that they are preparing to move into it. As soon as all the furniture arrives that is. LOL!
Love you all. Have a fantastic Friday. Drive carefully. ***Hugs***
