D D I'm still here

Tried to do some commenting this morning. If I missed some of you, I'm sorry.
You all are IMPORTANT to me.
 I can't seem to stay with any one thing long. sighhhhhhhhhhh
   Another night of hubby waking to pee often, which takes him a good ten minutes or better to arise from the bed after he gets his legs overthe railing, turn around to sit on his potty,lower his pullup, lower himself onto the seat, get the signal from his brain, wipe, stand and pull pullup UP and sometimes pj bottom up, turn around, sit on bed, get legs back up over the railing and onto the bed, cover him or himself and get comfortable again.
Then there is the one or two times during the night that I HAVE TO PEE and it's not always when he is peeing. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh

He is getting washed up by the Home Health Care Aide Kathy at this moment.  This is WHEN I need to hurry and change our sheets and get the bed ready for him to get back in it.

Jill ate spaghetti last night and she had stomach pain all night long. Tums, rollaids, Malox didn't help it. the acid was too much on her stomach after not eating .   Live and learn. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
She is having nightmares and flash backs of the first procedure that was done on her ( nose being packed with no pain med ).
Could this be...................................... her wake-up call?


It's now after 3p.m. Took hubby for his doctor visit and his doctor and I banged heads. The only thing I got him to agree with me on was he would speak to the nurse that comes here about Hospice Pain Management AGAIN as he is STILL under the belief it's ONLY FOR persons that have six months or less to live and he can't sign a paper that states that as the truth.  At one point in this visit he asked me if I wanted to admit him to a rest home. I told him that was NOT THE ANSWER.  Yes, I'm tired...but given some respite every other day or so, I think I can handle it. We went round and round on one drug is the same as another. Onxycodone, MS Contin, whatever!  ?????????? HUH??????? 
When he told me that confusion is the same as dilerium.....I DISAGREED STRONGLY and he did not like that.
When we first arrived one of the intake persons asked him where his pain was and he replied, my legs.
Then I asked him to tell her where else he had pain and he told her his stomach and also had stinging with urination.  Once in the exam room with his doctor he answered differently to him. Pain in stomach and with urination. Then he fell silent.....I spoke up and said, " what about your legs?'  His doctor turned to me and told me that he did not need any prompting from me.  I saw RED. I shit you not!
Later as hubby was waiting to give a urine sample and have a rumex??? xray of his stomach, I saw him aprroach hubby and bend down to speak in his ear.  Hubby volunteered in the car that he was asking him what the month was, day, date, president's name...all that shit.  Hubby told him it was Christoper Columbus month. :0)
I asked for something for his anxiety....and he agreed to give him something to take AS NEEDED.
Lorazepam 0.5 mg 2xs a day ... Hell. I might need to take that shit myself.   One for YOU...one for ME. ;0)
The doctor did not NOTE to the xray tech that hubby CAN NOT STAND.  Someone had to go in with him and help hubby get up on the table and positioned.

Michelle just called. She's coming over in a half hour to sit with her dad while I GET OUT. :0)
Tracie just came.............................

Jill took a fall helping me get hubby back into the house. :0(  She forgot the dogs leash that is connected to his lead which was snapped onto the railing was there and went over it head first. Knees skinned, elbow hurt.

It looks more and more like rain..... even if the forecast didn't call for it. Sky has dark clouds and cover the sun if it's up there anywhere.

 Last but not least....the baby shower plans have not progressed due to her being hospitalized and recouperating. PLUS the mother of the expectant mother....has not responded to Jill's phone calls since her return from three weeks in Hawaii for the birth of her first grandchild.
If she wants to take no part in this baby shower for her daughter...the least she can do is say so.
Ryans step mom is sending out the invites to that side of the family...........I have not been close friends with anyone in ages, so my list is non-existing, Jill's friends????, the expectant mom's friends??? 
Oh welllllllllllll.  I paid for the hall rental. Something tells me it won't be the last of my expenses.
Stress.......who has stress in their life, I ask. ;0) 

Jill will be home tonight too. :0) Can't bend, lift...but will BE HOME.
Butchie is working at the fire station.  She is tolerating him right now....tomorrow is anyones good guess.
   
My sitter and chariot are here.  Color me....GONE!

That's All Folks!
