I have not abandoned the blog. It has been a very long month or so, culminating, sort of, in a visit with the neurologist on Monday. In short, the PET scan confirmed the diagnosis of Frontal Temporal Dementia, and the doctor talked a bit about that. No treatment, no reversal, no slowing down, no idea of how far along this is, and no idea of what the prognosis or trajectory will be. Nice. Real definitive.
The month preceding this appointment was truly a house of mirrors, a month of shifting floors underfoot, unexpected pitfalls and traps. Very difficult, and will be described in subsequent posts. Living where another person constructs a reality for everyone around and keeps trying to draw them in with insistence and seeming logic is a mind bending experience. Keeping my own psychological ground is exhausting.
Signing off of this brief update to drive through a grey so very November day.
