Hi all,
Many thanks to you all for your best wishes for my mum and for also your kind words, they all mean a ton to me. My mum is getting home on Monday if things go as planned and the new care plan at home is in place for carers in 3 times a day now and the commode is there also. Her movement still is terrible so not sure how she will get on at home so we’ll just have to see how that goes. Says the trip to hosp has hit her confidence which is understandable and she got weighed again today, only 36kg, not good at all. But that is what it is I guess.
Sorry for sort of hijacking your thread Brigitte!!
Hugs to you all,
Gavin
Gavin-
So sorry to hear about your Mum- I hope you get her home and she starts feeling better. I know you are amazing as a carer and also a tribute to your Dad on the time you put in to help us here.
Brigette-
Having chemo and then driving yourself 68 miles? You are a superwoman and deserve to vent.
I am also so sorry for your loss.
It’s time for you to start having life be a bit easier for you. Although you are handling everything so well, I wish you some good and positive things to cling to.
Thinking of you,
Catherine
Thanks for sharing and it is okay to vent. That’s incredible Gavin that you offered your parents support in all ways through their medical conditions. That takes a lot physically and emotionally as I know also. You have to remember in this whole journey, which can be tough at times, to take a break, whatever that may be for each person. The stress can take an impact, so remember quiet time away from the situation is okay also.
Hi Brigitte,
Absolutely ZERO apologies are needed around here for anyone to have a rant. So you go ahead and rant away as much as you want to! It certainly helps to get things off your chest when you feel the need to do so and that is something that I think everyone can benefit from doing so sometimes. I know that I have had a few rants around here over the years and that has helped me!
You certainly have a ton of stuff to deal with don’t you and this episode with your grandson just adds to your stress does it not. Stress is something that I can totally relate to and I get a ton of that as well! My mum is in the hospital right now, has been since last Friday and was taken in with breathing troubles. For those here who may not know, she has COPD and has had it for about 20 years and I’ve been her carer for 11 years. She should get out on Monday when the new at home care package is in place but tomorrow I need to spend the day at her flat waiting for the delivery of her new home commode.
Anyway, thats enough of my rants! You know that we are always here for you Brigitte so you feel free to rant away as much as you want to!
Hugs,
Gavin
I lost my sister in law 10 days ago to heart failure, she was on remission from lung cancer and on Opdivo treatment. Then last Friday my grandson got into some trouble and the stress made me feel like I got hit by a truck. Yesterday I had chemo at 7 AM then drove 68 miles to go take care of some paperwork for him. By the time I got home I was so tired so went to bed before 8 PM. I feel a bit better today and decided that I did all I could do for him by taking care of paperwork and will offer him morale support as I love him but don’t like what he did and I told him that. He always has been a level headed, good person with a good job and a sweet girlfriend and I don’t understand how he could make such a poor decision. The whole family is shocked and heartbroken. His mom lives in England.
Sorry about the rant, but it weighs heavily on my heart.
Brigitte
