One of my fantasies about the future with Gregory has been that we could still travel if we had a third party along to help. That could be in the shape of paying the expenses for a friend to travel with us or even a hired professional care giver.
Gregory and I have looked at every Viking River Cruse video sent to us via e-mail and talk about how wonderful the experience would be to travel the rivers of the great cities of the world, using the ship as our hotel and waking up to tour a different city every day or two. No packing and repacking, no busses trains or airplanes. Good food, comfortable travel.
But the reality is that Gregory is past the ability to travel and I am past the ability to support him so he can travel. It is a sad realization but one that I probably need to be honest about.
Even packing and going to visit family in Michigan is full of difficulties in planning, routine, time, and space. Then reentry at home, where you would expect home routine to help, takes its toll.
I am soon to release an update to family and friends and I will post it here as well but things have really been downhill for Gregory the last month or two. Things have been changing so quickly and basic skills have been disappearing so quickly, that I haven't been able to keep up with knowing how to cope with and/or accommodate Gregory with his losses.
Stay tuned ...
