I guess I updated the blog on Friday, but that seems like a lifetime ago. Work is work. Boring. But I have some decent news to report - I have lost an additional 4 lbs since I re-dedicated myself to WW. Yay! That brings me to a total of 8. I am sure this week is not going to go as smoothly as planned since it is my birthday week. Then next week is Passover... I tend to eat a fair amount when in Seattle anyways. I am sure a Bing's stop will be on the agenda.
Dramz on the homefront. My grandfather has been in a dementia unit for a little while. What we have discovered is they have been overmedicating him. Now, to be fair, as his mental issues have progressed, he has become much meaner. It makes me think that my grandfather would be a mean drunk. It's not that I feel like we can't be around him in his new mental state, it is just that he is not a pleasant guy to be around. I am not letting that be an excuse for what is going on.
Essentially, what happened is this. My grandfather was so medicated that he got out of bed and tried to walk and took a fall. He needed to be hospitalized and rehabbed. Now, the really sad thing is the hospital discharged him yesterday, but there aren't any rehab places that will take him due to his dementia.
Seriously! I am mad that he was overmedicated in the first place. It reminds me of all of those movies you see about psych wards when these patients are medicated just to keep the quiet. That makes me very upset with the way things are going in the medical community. That and my grandfather won't be rehabbed because of all of this.
Not to be a downer, but that seems to be what is going on.
Tonight, Erica and I Zumba-ed. I kinda dig it, even though I am extremely uncoordinated. Okay, its 10:00. I need to get a shower. I'm outz....
