Well The last couple days Maddie has gone in the house so many times regardless of my taking her out !!!!! Like WTF
A few hours ago I found some behind my couch. I said to Steve are we sure we want to keep her ??!!?! He said he will put her up on Marketplace to rehome her but it was the “ tone” he said it in. I told him I know he really wants to keep her. But…. Honestly I don’t know if he’s going to try and rehome her now or not. ugh. She’s a sweet girl but I still think Steve won’t truly pitch in to help fully. I dont want to be the bad guy and we both need to decide to keep or re home her. I’m going to wait and see if he does list to rehome tomorrow. Anyway my mood is shyt but it’s not all about Maddie I’ve been struggling with depression for a while now.

Well Monday Im calling to transfer whatever meds we can. I'm trying to get h to go to urgent care for asthma medicine but he won't. I swear if it were me he'd be at the hospital no questions. My head's loud I want to sh, nothing new. H is giving me the xyz isn't happening rundown a couple times a day.

I feel upside-down. Trying to let go of that darn therapy session yesterday. Why didn't I open my mouth? Typical.
Anyway. I guess it's fortunate that I followed my intuition today and went to my primary care doctor. He's very kind and gentle. Old-fashioned. He said the infection is deep, it's not healing, so he had to (sorry, hope this doesn't creep anyone out) numb it with a shot, excise it, do this and that. It's all seeming complicated and oh, geez, I know it's certainly not the worst thing! But I feel like it's a manifestation of my terrible depression of this season. Go me. I have to pay a lovely visit to either urgent care or the ER every day to have the dressing dealt with, until Wednesday when I will be seen at the clinic again. Then I get to skip a day, and it's back to the clinic on Friday. Well, I didn't tell them, but I can't go on Tuesday because I have to take 2 cats to the vet (one for a routine procedure, the other has a cold, my diabetic girl, and she needs an antibiotic, I'm worried crazy about how to work something out $). I absolutely cannot be sitting and waiting anywhere for hours so I'm late for taking care of Sidney (her insulin shots). So I'll do what I can. In the meantime, I am taking Keflex (antibiotic). Plus, there's an annual display of luminaries in David's neighborhood, one of the grand old historic neighborhoods in town, and it's on Sunday night. I want to see it; it's the only special thing I'm doing all season and I won't be missing it. Anyway. You all probably know how I love getting my hair done. That was a birthday gift to myself. So I went in on Wednesday to my regular stylist. She and I usually have a fabulous time together, singing, laughing, joking around. But her birthday is coming soon, so of course, she was a bit odd. Subdued and withdrawn. I was a bit disappointed, I missed our usual fun time. But she always enjoys doing my hair, and she did this time, too. She pulled her phone out, scrolled through some stuff, said this, and showed me the picture I'll post below. Diana's hair styles have always worked well for me; my hair is thick and wavy and grows it various directions. Plus, I also have a long nose. So I said, "Perfect." And I LOVE this cut! It feels fab! My bangs are a bit longer, how I wanted them. So I may have to deal with this ratty infection, but while I do I can do it with a nice hair style  And I guess my hair style has brought us UK weather: loads of RAIN!

Oh, babe. I hate like all hell to say it, but... @~Christinait sounds like Maddie may be a bit much. You are really sounding burdened. And not just once or twice, but for a while, now, repeatedly.
As for the depression itself. Yeah, I know it's BD and the depression will go away eventually, but are you sure you need to wait it out? Maybe a med change would be better than a crappy winter?

Well mum’s doing ok. They’re admitting her. Hopefully locally, it depends on finding a bed. Otherwise it will be a long hour ride to the other hospital. There’s nothing worse than feeling under the weather and having to travel by ambulance. They have the worse shocks. In a way I’m relieved they are keeping her. Someone will be monitoring her breathing. I won’t have to keep watching her to make sure she’s breathing

Oo so sorry about your shoulder. It’s a pain living alone and not being able to do something like changing a dressing! Heal quickly

@*Beth*, what happened to your shoulder? I must have missed something.
@Nammu, I'm glad they are keeping your mom. It's just better to be monitored and you need to take care of yourself and not try to do that all night yourself. I know it's hard that she's there but they can monitor and provide oxygen and whatever. She may be able to get home health after this which would bring her PT to her if that makes it easier (assuming she's somewhat weaker after being sick). It's maybe something to ask the hospital about. for each of of you

Oh yeah. After heart attack she had pt here. That was really nice. It’s less than ten minutes to the PT office but half the time she gets motion sick, so having it at home would be an improvement. Good idea rainbow, thanks

Just really emphasize that she was having trouble before this and really needs to recover at home for a while. They have to meet "homebound" status and if she can't consistently get to therapy because of motion sickness that alone should qualify her, but add weakness to that and I'm sure it would qualify. Home health is what I did at the end of my career and it's awesome in situations like your mom's. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

Oh, I'm in such a twirl lately I don't even remember if I posted about it. I got a deep infection on my shoulder/back. It started to be painful over the week-end so I went to urgent care & the doctor prescribed Keflex. By yesterday the pain was so bad it hurt to move my right arm. I called my primary care clinic and went in today. And so it began.
And I just checked it and I don't know how I'm going to deal with this all the way until Wednesday. This is crazy. I truly don't know what to do. __________________ |

It’s their job. It’s literally what they’re there for - regardless of what else is going on with covid etc. I did a bit of nursing at uni and the first thing we were taught was that to the patient their sore finger or runny nose is just as important and worrying to them as another patient with a broken arm or chest pain. I know that’s a simple way of putting it but basically we were taught that every patient is there because they have an issue and are worried and to treat them that way. No issue is too small etc. I hope you went and got help! |
