Dear Useless
I don't know the status of your Dad since this posting but I'm on your street. My brother 52 is coping with MM and it's horrible. I was woken this morning 5:00 a.m. with him on the other end saying his leg is so swollen that he couldn't get up had to urinate in his plastic trash can beside his bed. He's not married and live alone. He told me he feels alright but had to do it as a last resort. He told me he is just tired and want to get some sleep for being up all night. He took 30mg of pain med (doctor ok'd). At this very moment I'm at a lost. I got right up and am pondering what to do. I'm waiting for first light, calling his doctor and seeing what path to take on this weekend when doctor offices are closed. I and my siblings are sooooooooo exhausted. For the last 2 years its been going back and forth to the hospital, emergency room, sitting and just wondering, praying and crying.
Since I am his healthcare attorney, I've seen, heard and witnessed just about every detail of this horrible horrible condition. I am so tired and fearful for my brother. I know his thoughts because we discuss them but at this point I only share limited info with my siblings because they couldn't handle it.
So with this being said your emotions are normal. Don't be so hard on yourself. One minute at a time.
Take Care
