A Thousand Words
11 September 2025
I'd say more but this shot is worth a thousand words all by itself.
She was obsessively anxious as we drove to the salon today but she remembered the place and she remembered Jose, who was so kind to her. The whole thing took about an hour and a half.
Then we dashed over to Kaiser where I was 20 minutes late for a steroid injection over a tendon on a finger but the new clerk didn't know to reschedule me so I got in anyway to the amusement of the nurse practitioner who did the procedure.
I have three to do to restore my grip on both hands but I started with one to see if it helps. Joyce waited in the car in the garage, although she did call me to see what was going on as the NP got a syringe.
Then we drove back to Golden Heights where I quickly (and with some desperation) arrange to use the Fireside room for her confidential chat with a therapist.
Big mistake.
To get her pampered at a hair salon and relaxed in the car before meeting her therapist. She had calmed down completely.
I asked her why she wasn't anxious now. She said she got tired of annoying me.
The therapist found her anxieties normal and suggested talking to the memory clinic people about more effective medications.
I may just talk to them myself. This is driving me nuts.
