Sorry to report nothing that's good news. Moving to assisted living tomorrow. Have decided I can't live alone any longer. Also, I have a consult with my oncologist tomorrow. Thins are moving quickly.

Hi @crhilston, this is a wise and pragmatic decision to move over to assisted living, especially with these weird episodes you’ve been experiencing. Having a nursing staff keeping an eye on you and being there should you need anything will be comforting.
I know you wanted to stay as independent as possible and that luxury is so hard to give up! I’m never one to rely on assistance either but boy, did I have to learn in a hurry that I don’t always get to be in control and, that relying on other people to help me wasn’t so bad after all. Asking for help is one of the hardest things to do!

So I hope this shuffle over to assisted living will at least bring some peace of mind that you have back-up right there for when you experience a ‘not so steady’ day.

It will be interesting to learn what your oncologist has to say about these lapses you’re having. I wonder if it’s related to the low red blood count. Will you be having another transfusion?
Best wishes for a smooth move today. I hope your new neighbor’s are friendly. ☺️ Air-hug!
