After going back and forth last night, I managed to be hooked up to my CPAPs long enough that I felt rested this morning. After having Cereal for breakfast and Coffee while I checked The Weather Network. As soon that Kathy knew that it was comfortable outside, she suggested going for a walk. (That means moving your legs to transport yourself around, all while getting exercise.)
As soon I started in the direction of the sidewalk, she said she want to go to the Park where Danny her brother was. She did not believe me that he was at home selling the seedlings that he start as early as January in his Greenhouses. Again, she started the line that he was not her brother, that he had Red Hair, wore Glasses and raised money for Charity. (He helps collect donations for the less fortunate, right before the Christmas Holidays.) The picture she keeps showing me, has him wearing a Winter Parka and Winter Toque, not a Baseball Cap and Jacket.
Tired of the screaming that I endure, we were soon headed back to LaSalle. It was not until we were within a Mile of his home that she started to settle down.
Danny was surprised to see us since we only spoke yesterday and even more surprised when Kathy gave him a hug. Unfortunately, Kathy’s eldest son Ken and his friend Anita were there. Ken had never seen his mother like that. I apologized to Danny and asked him to say loudly what his relationship was to Kathy and when was the last time we saw him. He answered, but said to me, “I can’t keep doing this”.
Less than a Mile down the road, Kathy again started screaming that wasn’t her brother. Knowing we have food to eat before it spoils at home that was where I headed.
In our parking lot, Kathy told me to go eat and she would drive herself to find Danny. The easiest way to stop her, was to sit in the driver's seat listening to her berate me for the next Ninety Minutes. I was told that I was losing it and needed my head checked. Finally, Two Fire Trucks with their Sirens blaring, went by. I started the Car, did up my Seat Belt and said, “Let’s check it out”.
After the Ladder Truck turned to head back to the Station, I kept driving along Riverside Drive, towards Tecumseh. She continued talking about Danny but at a more reasonable tone. It was already past 3:00 and we had not had lunch, so we stopped at Dairy Queen and took advantage of their Value Meals. There was more talk about Danny until we finished our meal.
I drove calmly back to our building, not commenting about anything that could start screaming again. Everything was going well, we watched the “6 o’clock Local News”, before I started cooking the Salmon Fillets, Potato Slices and Baked Beans for supper.
It was past 7:00 when our daughter Karen calls to see how things were going. She had already heard from her brother Ken, about his interaction with his mother. Karen understands what is happening and tries to be helpful taking Kathy on Girls Days and tips for me. We always talk on the Speaker, so when she insisted that I look at what she texted me, (though I knew it was there), when Kathy read over my shoulder, she was back in a rage telling me to Delete it. She didn’t talk to me for the rest of the evening.
Trying to cut the tension, I turned on the movie, “Martian” with Matt Damon. She barely watched it before kissing me good night.
I know that she still cares but cannot help her disbelief.
I was still writing the Blog when she came out to talk about the Truck and Trailer for nearly Thirty Minutes before going back to Bed.
Hopefully, things will be better in the morning.

Nothing. It just waved.
