I'm so tired of feeling exhausted
Mom was kicked off , I mean graduated from hospice in the middle of November. Weighing in at 90 pounds , can't eat chokes on everything ,chest full of crap enough they can barely hear her heart because of the noise from her lungs, she won't swallow has been bed ridden for the last 2 years.
Now with the holidays here I am struggling to keep up with all of her care the daily task of keeping her clean and dry, bathes on Monday Wednesday and Friday , piles of laundry , finding this thick it she needs for juices and water . This sticky Medicene they put her on for pain and That use as needed I put it on her at night. Its going to last forever so she will constantly be sticky.
Thats her and what I do for her . I still have a house , family and yard that is in need of my attention . Although I feel a like a prisoner in My own home and My family can't all go out to dinner together because one of us has to be here.
I recently deciced to only change her bed sheets and blankets on friday inless major accident. Instead of doing every thing on bath days. When the bath aide was coming three times a week they wanted to change everything so I did tons of laundry. Trying to keep up with that is about to kill me . I can keep her clean and dry with alot less laundry.
I guess thats a case of choosing my own battles .
Well it is bathe day so I must get busy get things done to the best of ability.
