Spent most of yesterday asleep ! came on line to nosey now and then though :)
I get these flare-ups from time to time and there is no fighting them....just have to sleep them off......frustrating though .
Just waiting for the care nurse to come to do Mikes wash and shave....very strange feeling to have someone else do things, but I do know I cant keep on doing everything.
They have also got us down for Respite....where Mike will go to a care facility for a few days ( probably already said all this !!).......that will be more than strange and I am apprehensive for him. As he says though....it's no different from him being in hospital for a few days and a lot more comfortable !! Bless the man :)
Have hopes of news re. housing.......hope I'm not getting too optimistic. We do need to get moved and settled.

Kath,
I don't know what you mean by "flare ups", but I had to take an antianxiety medication sometimes to help me. Now I take it sometimes for the extreme grief and it really does help. Today would have been Jim's birthday, so it's a very bad day, but I'm back at work and that helps. The worst time's are at night. But they say time heals, I just wish that time was here already. Try the antianxiety med, go to the doctor... they'll help. Also Kath I started a Lung Disease group before I found this Pulmonary Fibrosis support group and a young woman joined that group. I'd like to steer her towards you. Your a great support and I'm sure she'd benefit from speaking to you. Can I tell her about you?

It will give you a few days to yourself, rest up and take things easy. My husband will not go into respite unfortunately. Hospice have repeatedly asked him so that I can have time off but he refuses.
