Another
week over and another week beginning, today it is a lovely day saw
Kathy & Summer when they came over to use my iron.
Natasha
gave Summer some old make up, some of which I would like.
I
slept in till 9am, so I slept for 7hrs straight, when I got up I
leaked urine, I am thankful I was wearing a pad.
Jess
called in to pick up Leo's medication containers while her she read
something I wrote about how I am coping and became upset and came and
hugged me.
When
I showed Kathy the same note all she said was that I told her that on
Saturday, she wasn't very sympathetic.
Tim
was sympathetic when he read it.
Monday
morning now, I slept well last night and woke up at 6.45am when alarm
went off.
Again
I started leaking as soon as my feet hit the floor.
Had
a hour nap but still tired.
Blain
scared me when he crept in to the house, without me noticing.
I
was watching TV when Jono arrived with stuff for me I felt like
crying I was so pleased with the stuff he gave me.
Tim
arrived home while Jono was here and was surprised that he didn't
want money for the stuff he gave me.
On
Wednesday, Sandra came over and did tried to upload some documents to
Centrelink for Mum but the didn't go and she had to take them up and
hand them into in person. It was nice seeing her.
On
Thursday I managed to dress myself this morning but then things went
down hill.
Did
manage to get through to palliative care about grief counselling.
Someone named Mel the girls will ring me on Monday to arrange a time
for one on one counselling.
Jessica
has sprained her ankle and is unable to go shopping with me tomorrow,
so Natasha will hang around and help me.
Mum
told me that Sandra's dog Ruby got out again and when she got home
the ranger was there. She was given two options, either surrender the
dog or pay a $2,000plus fine. She chose to surrender the dog,
however,her and Ed decided to tell the girls that it was hit by a car
and died so the ranger took it away.
Friday
morning I was up and bathed first thing but had to wait till Tasha
came and dressed me. She stayed at the square with me.
Tasha
has borrowed my car again, Tim said she has to stop lending her car
to other people.
Tonight
when I was going to the bathroom I wet myself again and called Tim to
help but he said he would get Tasha.
She
wants me to get adult nappies for use at night.
Saturday
I slept in till 9am just after I did Tasha turned up with the
nappies, the cost pissed Tim off. She helped me get dressed while.
here.
Kathy
took her girls to gymnastics this morning so she was unable to get my
groceries. However, she said that in future she will get them at
10.30 for me.
Kathy
and the girls called in for a couple of hours.
Jessica
& Tim have gone out car searching.
Tim
referred to the nappies as an extra expense. The way he said it made
me cry.
Sunday
morning and last night I used on of the adult nappies it worked
bloody great.
Sometimes there are extra expenses that cannot be helped! Glad they are making life easier for you. What a week!
ReplyDeleteGrief takes time to work through. A good counselor can help.

We all have to make adjustments to our body's failings as we get older. No shame in it. One thing watching Scrappy falling apart taught me is that I need compassion when others reach the things that can't be helped.
ReplyDeleteWhen my son died, I did in-depth grief counseling in a group with other parents and one on one. It really helped.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are having such a time - with grief and your health. I hope things get better real soon for you.
For a while, I leaked urine regularly--just enough so that I was always damp but feared an accident at work. My doctor gave me a medication that has almost completely stopped the leaking.

As we age, we have to accept that our body is failing and make the necessary adjustment. Some expenses can't be avoided. Tim may not mean it in a negative way, probably it is just a statement made without thinking about your feeling. Sometimes if I go travelling I too need to wear a pad, just in case.
ReplyDeleteRita.....Yes things are easier with them
ReplyDeleteRick......Yeah I know, it is just so hard at times
Chris.....I know if only it wasn't so hard
Debby.....I am trying to get an appointment for grief counselling, I take it one day at a time
Janie...... Yes my Mum had to take medication for her incontinence
Nancy.....I know Tim didn't mean to upset me, he just speaks without thinking.
