My dad just called from the hospital. He told me earlier today that he thought he would be coming home tomorrow. Now that doesn't seem like it is going to happen. He says he is as sick or sicker than he was when he went into the hospital.
He finally agrees that a lot of it could also be the stress of mom dying. I told him to tell the nurse/doctor that he thinks thats it. That he needs some help coping and some meds for anexity or something. He said he would have the nurse call me.
My brother has to go home Saturday. So with all the stuff with dad I will have to call Hospice back and see about getting mom on their waiting list for respite care.
This is really getting to be too much. I am so scared that when mom dies dad will have a heart attack and drop dead. I am so scared I will have to bury both parents at the same time.
I know. Things will work itself out somehow and someway. I will be ok. I will be ok.....maybe if I say it long enough I will believe it.....I will be ok........

Prayers are with you. Know having Mom and Dad ill at the same time can't be easy--but take care of yourself, or you won't be a help to either of them. (((hugs))), LaVern
My prayers are with you, i know that's gotta be hard to deal with... things will work out.

Dear Kathy, I have just popped in after a word with Guedo. I am so sorry to read of all your trials at the moment. Please do get in touch with hospice care.Even though Mom dosn't want you to. You need to have some respite and even when Dad gets home he won't be able to cope with Moms demanding wyas for a while. The hospice have here own way of coping with all situations and will help you all. I have added you to my alerts so that I can keep you close. God Bless I have added you to my prayers. Much Love Sybil xx

"Things will work itself out somehow and someway."
They will. And that's what you need to remember now when it seems impossible to believe.

You will be okay, but saying it doesn't make all that's going on any easier. Truth is, we none of us are ready no matter how well we prepare ourselves.
