Finally gave in and called t hoping to leave a voicemail and she picked up the phone

So I gave in , I didnt see t this week, and I been highly overwhelmed and burdened, playing slave in this house, my h is lazy as hell, im dealing with taking care of his mom, his brother who lives in town, does not care and does not help at all, his other brother is in another state, only comes once a year, and does not deal with emotions very well, despite the fact that the doctors gave his mom 6 to 9 months to live. She is home bound.

Home health care, wont touch her, skilled nursing home only wants her long term, health insurance only covers short term, so I am stuck with the care. Today was her doctors appt. In a matter of 2 weeks she has lost 28 pounds, due to some medication, her doc, took her off of it, I lost it in the office, I am so overwhelmed, heading into mania , lack of sleep. Her doc is concerned about me now.

Her doc sat me down, she knows my mother in law is mean and stubborn, and the brothers are lazy and insensitive, so she told me she would set up in house hospice and that would relieve some stress for me.

I decided to call t , hoping i could leave a voicemail and I could tell her to call me back, but UGGHHHHHHH she picked up the phone, I wanted to hang up, I hate needing her, i explaned how overwhelmed i was, but told her what happened and how the doc helped me, she gave me some excercises to do, and told me she was looking foward to seeing me next week, and to call if i needed to, and that she was proud that I finally called when I needed her.

I am proud of you, too. You needed to contact her and you did! Good job!

Congraqtulation on calling her, that's amazing! I know how you, I too asked my T for help in a crisis for the first time today....

This has happened to me, also, where I call wanting to leave voicemail, or just hear her voice, and she has picked up the phone!

Well done Sweepy for making that call. I know how hard that must have been for you. Keep strong. You are doing so very well and have so much to deal with at present. Take good care of yourself. Big hugs.

Im glad they are setting up in house hospice. The boys in the family are really not living up to their responsibilities, dumping it all on you like that. Im glad the dr saw that and stepped in.

good job jordy im happy to hear that, hi five to both of us.

thanks for responding hazelgirl, i know you are not doing well with all your emotions all over the place, so that was very nice of you to do so.

Of course! I don't have a lot of ability to think super clearly at the moment, but I am trying to respond where I have something to say.

this is great . you are working so hard.

Good work Sweepy on contacting T for some support. Hope you get a chance to relax a little when hospice comes in to help.

I'm glad you were able to reach out. It can be a really difficult thing to do. I know when I call someone thinking I'm going to leave a message and they pick up (especially t), it totally throws me off. I'm glad you were still able tp talk to her.

Granite: I'm working hard on not having a nervous breakdown lol and making this place a crime scene ( only kidding) need a little humor .

Hankster: the brothers are bums they are avoiders they have taken advantage of me, I'm only good enough to be the family slave , I bend over backwards for this lady 25 yrs and before my father in law died , he begged her and cried at the lawyers office, telling her to to put me in the will for a third of the house for everything, I have done, and she said, NO SHE CAN HAVE THE DOGS WHEN WE DIE.
