My dad died yesterday, Dec 19 at 11:10am. He was my friend. He wasn't supposed to go yet. We had more to talk about, I had so much more to learn from him, we had plans.
I spent Monday with him. I cried as I watched him take naps. His breathing had gotten incredibly labored. He coughed up gunk from his lungs as he had for the past month and ...1 Recommendation5 Comments -
I'm feeling a bit panicky this morning. I think this is all due to waiting for the scan results, though before he had it I'd convinced myself that it really made no difference at this stage, and we couldn't hope for any good results yet anyway. All linked back to the fact that last time he had a scan, it was just a week before we got the very worst news we could ever have expected to ...1 Recommendation4 Comments

Okay, just want to get this out of my system. Feel so bad for my hubby, in pain, can't sleep well, frustrated, bored. He's trying to wean off the pain meds this weekend. I feel helpless. Don't know what to do, how to help him. Is this how it's going to be? Is this the beginning of the end?1 Recommendation4 Comments

I took my Fentynl patch off (25mcg) and I ran out of my Neurontin now it feels like my skin is crawling. My legs hurt a lot! I was trying to get off the patch. I didnt think it was doing me any good. I had to put it back on and it helped a little. My legs still ache and feel edgy. It feels like my legs are having an anxiety attack. I dont understand. It hurts to move. I have scietiaca (sp?) and s...1 Recommendation4 Comments

I feel as though this day has lasted months! Ray continues to develop more serious issues....heart rate of only 40, CTscan showed inflammation in colon, fever, cough getting worse, Platelet count of only 14,000, creatine rising and hardly any urine produced even though on constant IV drips. It's as if all his systems are shutting down. How could that doctor give my pr...1 Recommendation4 Comments -
This has been a very difficult day. I seem to have lost my song... I want to find a place and hide from the world.. I don't seem to find any pleasure in gift giving this year. Mother always loved Christmas so very much. Of all the holidays we celebrated she always made our birthdays and Christmas extra special. My brothers and I are planning to meet at her house and celebrate ...1 Recommendation4 Comments

Well so far the journey for this weight loss surgery has been frustrating and scary. First I find out I have a tumor on my kidney ..and they doc has given me an 80/90% chance that it is indeed cancer. We won't know for sure until the tumor is removed. And he has told me that chemo and radiation won't touch this type of cancer so that won't help me. So I have su...1 Recommendation4 Comments
