When something is going swimmingly and I am very happy with it, this is the time to ask me favours, I am filled with love for all humankind (and dogkind, obviously) at such moments.

Although my migraine has subsided to a dull ache accompanied by mild nausea and dizziness, the effects of the medication are making it very difficult to think clearly. I can cope with pain & physical disability but I hate, hate, hate having a foggy brain.

I think I'm going to go and lie in a dimly lit room and highlight bits of Being White. Being Good to think about later.

My greatest fear is developing dementia. I worked with people with dementia for 17 years. Some of them were perfectly happy to go with the flow even tho they weren't quite clear what was going. Others were overwhelmed with anxiety and frustration. I suspect I would be the latter.

I remember one lady who always thought she was at some kind of party as she sat in the sitting room of the care home. She kept saying 'Well, this is very nice, isn't it?' Admittedly, British people often say this when they're feeling a bit bored & would really like to go home.

But she wasn't anxious. Another lady walked around constantly saying 'Where am I? What is going on? I want to go home. Where's my mum? Why won't anyone explain what's happening?' despite us explaining what was happening and attaching big explanatory signs to the walls everywhere.

I have the feeling I would be like that and also a complete pain in the arse to carers, especially if they tried to get me to join in with communal activities and occupational health stuff. Anyway, I am only 43 so I will not worry about this yet.
