I am just so tired. Just sitting in there is tiring. The images bring back memories of my Dad in his last stages of life. I'm not coping well but I can't change anything.
We will find out in the morning if they are operating again tomorrow.
Trying to decide when we let the kids see her. I don't want them to see her looking like she does now, but then if anything happens, I want them to be able to see her. A hard decision.
How are you both going?

Got a call. MIL back on more machines. Not going the greatest again.
Still unsure about tomorrows op.
I'm trying to stay strong for Hubby, but feel like I am failing. Feels like prn are holding it all together.
D wants to see her. I don't want her to have that image in her head. It's not a nice one.

No surgery today, looks like it might be tomorrow.
Still on breathing mask but at least she seemed a little more with it today. Didn't think anyone was trying to kidnap her today! (strong meds)
Spent the morning filling out more forms for mum when she goes into respite.
Not sure if we are going away now - depends on what happens in the next week.
Got gp tomorrow for mum. Still trying to fit in time for her too.
Got psych (telehealth) Thursday. Could really use a face to face appointment. It's been 8 weeks since I have seen her in person.
What I want to do and what I have to do are totally different. I don't know how much longer I can do this, I'm running out of prn.

hey @Snowie been thinking of you.
i see that lots has been happening, and you've been working really hard on pushing through. your efforts don't go unnoticed here.
is there a reason your psych won't do face-to-face anymore? are you able to refill your meds soon?
we're here for you, sending you gentle hugs 💗

Thanks @Eve7 I hope you are ok hon.
Have just helped install a new washing machine!
Thanks @rav3n
My psych does face to face, but not as much as she used to. It didn't help that she was away for 6 weeks either and my last session was a telehealth too. I have considered changing psych's, to one that only does face to face, but I'm not sure if I want to start all over again with someone new. I'm comfortable with her.
I can't fill my meds till Thursday
Things just seem out of my control. I need some down time, but I can't see that happening anytime soon.
