Today I have to examine further, why I now wish to share with the world the dementia journey.
I consider it important, for my own, as well as any potential readers sakes, to examine why I think this form of sharing is appropriate / necessary. Maybe it is a combination of ego, showmanship, wishing to tell my own story, rather than being the recipient of well meaning health professionals interpretation of where I am and where I should be. The filling of the void, between what was and what is. Maybe a wish to be more easily understood / to be more understanding. Possibly the hope that written expression will provide a deeper insight into where this journey is taking both myself and the passengers who are having to accompany me.
As mentioned in yesterday's submission, the suggestion regarding the possibility of my undertaking a Blog was made to me six years ago. It is only now that, for whatever reason, I have suddenly had the urge to write one. It is possible that, as I am becoming more aware of the developing nature of this state and it's affect on others, I have the need to open / broaden aspects of my communication, as other areas falter.
The increased reliance on support, for this otherwise extremely independently minded individual, was further illustrated today, when having undertaken my first blog yesterday, I omitted to note the full blog address and therefore could not access it this morning. An SOS email to my grandaughter requesting HELP, eventually resulted in her somehow extracting the site details from the blogosphere. Hence my being able to post this submission today. Thank God for the caring, helpfull, understanding folk, called grandchildren!!
