Well after yesterdays adventure, im so tired. My joints are killing me. Its been raining and really chilly today. I got soaked walking from the car to the store. I have so much cleaning to do. I have my grandsons on Friday And Sat,mom and dad work double shifts.My dad is in the hospital he had fallen several times on Wed. They said he had a stroke, they also noticed he had a stroke another time we did not know about that, but it showed up on the mri. He is having the Sundown syndrome. So im emotionally and phyically tired.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. What is Sundown syndrome? I hope you can get some rest soon.

This has been so emotionally and physically draining for you, of course you feel tired. Take a little bit of time for yourself and get some rest. The cleaning can wait for a little while. You won't do you or your dad any good if you wear yourself out. Hugs to you, Nana. wish I could be there to help.

Awww Nana, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad and that you aren't feeling well. Try and get some good rest as it will put a brighter perspective on things. You can only handle so much before you get so worn out both physically and emotionally before you become ill yourself. Take care and keep us posted on your Dad.

It's kinda like severe hullcinations. When the sun starts setting,in some people all the activities of the day is to much for them to handle. Like my dad was asked where he came from ( they transfered him to another hospital) Well he told them he came from the jail in Alabama. Well my dad has never been there. Then he said that there were people in the room having babies lol. This is a place for elderly adults.When they are meds it makes it worse.
My mom was in elderly rehab center when she had her hip surgery, they gave her haldol oh my gosh it was BADDDD.
Here is more info on it.
