We do live in a state where medical cannabis is legal but I'd like to see some studies done before throwing another drug at her.

She isn't like this every day. Lately I've not been feeling well myself and I think it's made my short patience worse. I screamed at the cat for nagging me, so there's that.

I wish I could give myself permission to be irritated. It doesn't mean I love her any less.

Mostly I'm pissed that Alzheimer's turned her into someone else. Those of you who have a loved one with dementia - do you get pissed off at the disease?
