My leukemia's back.

Im doing ok. up to two Immodiums 20 minuts before a meal. got severely dehydrated a couple of times.... half gallon of water I drank down and still didint ahve to pee. Drank coupld of cups more and they could do radiation.... but my bladder was only half full.

So they told me to take two immodiums before meals... up to eight a day. Slowing the through put on my bowls stopped the dehydration a bit.

Saw my Pulminologist this morning and she sighned off for the CPaP.... Takes two weeks. Yay...

I see my Cardeologist next week.

Bu in general I am very very tired. yet I cant sleep.

Started grandma with a in home care provider.... shes pissed. But with my son working I cant do the stuff I used to do.

Shes said a bunch of stuff very hurtful stuff and my Filters and shields arent adequate right now. I know Its the beginnings of dimentia... in my thinking brain... but my feeling brain is wounded.

The agency I went through for the helper also specializes in giving care givers support and a break. And understands Grandmas with Dimentia.... first week hope next weeks go better. I like Nina.

:hit I will cry for you. :hugs

Love you muchly, hope things get better as grandma settles in.

Thank you so much for the update .
 
deb, tell your oncologist about your sleep problems, and any other problem or concerns you may be experiencing. They have an arsenal of things to help. Some of it may be resolved with your CPAP, but you can't go 2 weeks without getting some rest. You don't have to wait for your appointment to talk to your oncologist. Call the office, leave a message.

Stop worrying about grandma. She's getting care. Of course she's angry. 1. Old people don't like change. Real old people, really hate change. 2. She can't make as many special demands with this caregiver, like she did with you. Give it time. It'll actually be good for both of you.

8 a day, I can only imagine the discomfort you are in just from the need for more than one.

I guess you just need to stay away from your grandmother for a bit and let Nina deal with everything. Many people going what you are going through would most likely have moved her to a care facility for the duration of your treatment and convalescence from that. You are doing more than you can and that certainly takes out your shields. While we can't be there to help you out, know that we are thinking and caring about you. :hugs
