Christian Faith Publishing A Box of Depends & A Bottle of Tequila by Misti Galves, Sheri Malvestuto
Have you ever had the worst day of your life and thought, well, at least, there's tomorrow, and when I wake up, everything will be all right? What if you were stuck in that day for six years? When my husband was diagnosed with a disease that mimicked Alzheimer's, I was stuck in my worst nightmare I couldn't wake up from. So my husband was slowly losing his mind, and now what? I had to figure that out. This disease wasn't widely known back then, and we had a lot of trial and error when it came to the what-do-you-do process. Thank God I had been through all the training with Tony Robbins and Wayne Dyer. I'd walked the fire so many times I could do it blindfolded, so I thought I would be able to cope with this. Boy, was I wrong! There is no amount of prep work you can do. Once you're in it, it's like a freight train you just have to ride through or jump out of the way before it knocks you down. My life was crazy, and to top it all off, I had to go and start my own franchise dealing with in-home care for my husband and a lot of people who had the same issues he had. I was working insane hours trying to support my sick husband and find some sense in all this misery. I found out through this process what kind of person I am and just where my breaking point is. With the help of my parents, who also had health issues at the time, we somehow made this all work out, but it wouldn't have been bearable at all without a little humor and, my dear friends, a box of Depends and a bottle of tequila!
