Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Sorry to hear that, Whites.

Went from bad to worse. The purge took more liquid than I could replenish & I blacked out, twisting my right leg up under myself when I hit the deck. Spent the morning, from about 1 until 8, in the ER, then walked next door to have the colonoscopy done, which went like clockwork. Been home long enough to get something to eat (first since 10 Saturday night) & drink a cup of Folgers, & fully intend to veg out the rest of the day. Never had a prep do me like that before.

They want to do this to my grandpa. He is 90.
I just don't think it would be worth it.
So sorry You had to go through all of that.

Ordering the Pond bubble wrap for Whites, STAT! Seriously, I hope you are truly resting and replenishing your fluids today.

For what purpose? I agree that it wouldn’t be worth the risk at that age.

Well. . he is having stomach trouble they can't get figured out. He's been sick a lot lately. We are waiting on about 10 blood tests and ultra sound results.. Hopefully they will figure something out soon.

Sorry that you have had to deal with this. I'm with 'Al' - how's the leg ?

Dear Ms Deb, i feel for you from the very bottom of my heart. My own scars are still, years later, so fresh im still crying after reading your post And taking a breather. I sleep w the pillow my grandma used while i cared for her and that gives me comfort. Most of it is a blur but I remember her calling out for her father, and the circular talks like youve described, tho i believe i wouldve caved much sooner if she had been asking for death. I slept next to her until she got the hospice hospital bed because she couldnt remember that she couldnt walk or what had happened to make that happen. If i was as strong as you are, she may have lived longer.

Alright atm. Colonoscopy tomorrow morning, but they're telling me I need to go the chemo route, as well. Not liking that at all.

Only if I get the first bullet between the eyes


Deb it's hard for me to read your posts, losing mom 6 months ago and she had dementia and I dealt with similar stuff, Oh God I miss her every day but yet I don't want her back to suffer more and longer. I think whoever wrote the song whisky lullaby had to live a loss like that because I can understand the line perfectly putting the bottle to the head and pulled the trigger. You don't want to move on or can't. I am losing the only home I have known, I have lost my mom and the pet that I had for over 15 years that in essence became my best friend thru the struggles with my last job, my disability and mom. the cat was mom's but she lost mom before mom departed us, mom became more and more withdrawn from the world and the cat became more mine and understood that I was owner, I'm sure she didn't know why mom didn't respond to her much then not ever, she just knew I was there and cared for her and knew mom was a shell of herself and I was caring for mom also. My mom didn't want me to kn ow dad's family so I don't know who they are or where they are. Only met half his siblings. My mom's family are so warped I cannot be around them. My brothers could care less If I am alive. 1 told me several years ago while I was caring for mom and her health problems that I was not allowed at his house until I had a wife and kids, the other brother threw me out on thanksgiving day a few years back because I showed up after he invited me. because they realized they didn't have enough space for everyone so they pulled out a lawn chair and a tv tray for mom and asked me to go home. Yea lots of love there.
