Nick has had a hard few weeks. He experienced two tough days of seizures and then it took him about four days to recover. For the past week, he has been getting used to the new seizure med. He says, “I am much better.” We really hope so.
For dinner, we decided to give Nick his favorite comfort foods: A grilled cheese sandwich and two cookies. Then we watched a movie. It was an evening of no drama, no stress, with only a little worry in the back of Arden and my minds. It would be nice if we didn’t have any worry. We are working on that, but so far it doesn’t seem possible.
We all have our favorite past times. Doing the things that relax us, calm our spirit and recharge our batteries. Arden and I don’t always need the same things, I love to read or watch a movie, and Arden enjoys being outside on our property. Sometimes one of us is stressed while the other one feels fine. We know that it is important to be aware of how the other one is doing and then make space in the daily grind for each of us to find some comfort.
We have hobbies, enjoy visiting with friends, take a nap, cook a yummy meal. These are some of the things that give us a break and helps to make us feel a little more balanced.
I would love to know what brings you comfort. I find it an incredible blessing to hear the stories of others. You might have experienced just the thing that someone else needs to hear.
