(I hope it's a) Good morning, @billchitwood

My wife's world collapsed down to a tiny circle as well. Outside stimulations were overwhelming to her mind, having anyone over caused her anxiety that their mere presence might interfere with her daily routine, plus there was a part of her that just didn't want to be judged by others. Most importantly, I think (just me) daily living demanded so much of her energy it was all she could truly manage and was truly exhausted her each day.

For the entire 14 years of my wife's war we never turned on a TV, radio, music, etc. and she hated when the telephone rang. I guess our patients try and control what they can in their shrinking world.

I bet we could have a great 'bad voice' singing contest! Thanks for the laugh!

Strength, Courage, & Peace
