Kathy, you are not alone. Lainy told me once earlier to take one day at a time and sometimes only one hour at a time. Keep your focus on your Dad because those are the memories you will remember. Thank goodness my Mom wants to be cremated and besides my brother (clueless) I am the only one who lives close by. It is amazing how death can bring out all sides of people. I try to remember sometimes that I don’t have to win every battle because I want to win the war! Please take a moment for yourself each day, take care.
I mentioned the itching to my Mom’s hospice nurse on Thursday of last week and he said it could be anything. She was prescribed hydroxizine (bad spelling without the bottle in front of me). She said today the itching was 100% better so that’s good. I do not know if her stent is metal or plastic, didn’t know it could be either of those, whoops!!
Thank you all for letting me come here to vent. Most days are great, just sometimes it goes south.
Tomorrow I am going to call her Hospice Social Worker and ask for one of their books that you all have mentioned.
Thank you Lainy. She already has stint in place would that make a difference? Back in Feb. she was completely yellow (jaundice) head to toe and that was when she was diagnosed. She is meeting with the nurse as we speak so hopefully some more relief there. I will get some of the cream and give it a try, can’t hurt. My Aunt checks on her also, she lives about 20 minutes from her. My Mom wants to stay in her own home until she can’t move, in her words. I am very relieved to have someone to share some of this with. It does become overwhelming at times.
