rage is a strong word... I think I managed to take my walk-walking-medicine in time to prevent that undirected anger from turning into uncontrolled rage... but that's just bickering about the choice of words.
Dealing with a challenge that requires an almost infinite amount of patience sometimes turns into a moment of frustration and once it has started heating up it gets tough to find a way to ease the tension again...
So far I've been avoiding to put the topic up on the blockchain, I feel like it doesn't belong here.
...
My grandmother has Alzheimer's and it's been getting a lot worse this year. During the end of the first lockdown she fell and broke her hip and ever since she's been released from the hospital I've basically moved in with her to take care of her needs.
I'm her only family within the country and I love her from the bottom of my heart. Getting her into institutionalized care, especially during this pandemic madness, is not an option I would consider and so I find myself in Don Quixote's shoes sometimes when every day feels like groundhog day and I am just struggling to maintain some normalcy for grandma while my own life has to step back.
Her bones have healed well and physically she's recovered and doing great again, but the temporary immobilization has taken a huge mental toll and she has lost most of her independence during the time.
I'm not sure how this will all pan out but I'll try to give my best as long as I can.
Oh @fraenk, I know that @amico.sports asked but I was as well a bit concerned whay you was in that feeling of rage...or pain I would say. But I didn't dare to ask. So I took now the freedom the read this answer to his question.
I just can't skip now my comment. You are a caring person with so good heart as far I could conclude until now. But this is an extraordinary loving gesture you can do to your grandma and although it is difficult to see sometimes, she somewhere knows and feels how much you love her and everything you are doing.

(I loved my grandmothers as well, one fell down, broke her femur and passed away 😢 Other fell as well, broke her arm and passed away 😢. I couldn't even say goodbye to her as we just moved to Spain and that happened in one day.. This grandmother had Alzheimer, and it was a bit difficult. But I know they both are in better place now and they are with me, protecting me in some way.)
The patience and love, that you already have a plenty of, is the only way and you know it. And you are doing very well! I wish you all the strength needed for this 🤗🤗
Thanks for your kind words @mipiano.
There's tough days and there's good days. Eventually I'll be thankful to have had all of them.
You will be (you are), I am sure. In general, we all have to learn to be more thankful for all the days life serves us.
☀️🤗☀️
Thanks for the openness on such a personal topic and sorry if I was too direct, dear @fraenk. 🙏
Life always puts us through trials that we consider very difficult, but love is the force that governs the entire universe and you are applying it very well! 😍
A huge hug!
That's allright, thanks for asking.
Life is a rollercoaster ;)
Despite the tough moments, I'm glad I am in the position to be here and face the trial.
hugs'n'cuddles back to you!
I'm convinced you have the correct attitude: congratulations, @Fraenk! 🙏❤️
🍻 !BEER and a huge hug! 🤗
