SpectatorWoop! Woop!! Thank you dear Lainy and sweet Gavin!! I was thrilled to be asked and hope I can live up to all of you wonderful Moderators!! It is a great honor and I just love everyone on this site, but really hate the cancer that this site is about. Hoping and praying for the cure.

ModeratorLynn….. Fleet Glycerin Suppositories Laxative worked well for my husbands to aid him in these episodes of constipation. All other times he would take a stool softener ½ hour before his meal. I also came to understand that he needed his space and lone time because; he simply did not have the energy or desire to interact with others.
To be ill and to undergo enormous, physical changes take a toll on the patient. Most likely George prefers your company alone. And, that is understandable – you are his biggest support. I wish for a better night.

SpectatorHi Lynn,
I just wanted to tell you that George is very lucky to have such a caring, sweet wife that will do anything for him. I am sorry he had a rough night and hope after his rest today that he is feeling better. Take care and try to get some rest yourself.
Love, -Pam

ModeratorHi Lynn,
Sorry to hear what George went through last night. And you have had a rough night as well. I know that my dad used to apologise to me as well a lot and I told him that he didn’t have to ever apologise for anything. I sure hope that George is feeling a bit better today and that you don’t have to use Lainy’s lashing with a wet noodle technique either!!! Thinking of you both right now.
Hugs,
Gavin

SpectatorAw, I am so sorry, Lynn. He could be exhausted from last night’s episode but I would let him call the shots on this one. If I may make a suggestion, it would relieve stress for George and for you if people called first. I used to schedule only 2 visits a day, sometimes one and gave Teddy time in between the visits to sleep. I also did not let people stay over 1/2 hour. When does Hospice come over again?

Spectatorthanks lainy,im trying to be strong,this emotional rollercoaster is horrible,shortly after the update,george came to me and said he wants to sleep,why do i want to sleep so much.my rollercoaster took a nose dive,i was so hopeing that george would stay up for a little while,but 10-15 minutes was all he could handle,he has no pain now,but last night it was in his bottom,more pressure then pain..two long time friends came by today,and he said he didnt want to see anybody,i told him that his sister is comming later ,and he said no,and he also told me to call miss kay(his nurse)and tell her not to come,i didnt because i need to talk to her…well,more later love you all hugs Lynn.

SpectatorHello Lynn, I am so sorry about George’s bad night. You should let Hospice know what happened. George reminds me so much of Teddy, always apologizing. Lynn, where was his pain? I am hoping you have a nice quiet day. V8 and prune juice? Uh, ugh! When Hospice comes again you can ask them or something to help regulate him. Only thing I use V8 for is a base for vegetable soup. Be strong.
