Title: Been a long week... Post by Redd715 on Sep 15th, 2005, 8:43pm So much has heppened this week, yet so very little. I've heard that when the end is near, a loved one will gain a bit of strength for a few days. Hope upon hope that this is what is happening with Mom right now. She speaks of those who have passed ahead of her. She knew all of our names today, and as I got hit today she asked me if I had taken my meds. She had been placed in her wheel chair rather than bed rest, and her voice when she spoke was faint, but she made more sence today than in the past 5 years. She is off all her previous medication for the BP, the blood thinners, the anti-dilusions, the anti-seisures for a week now. Cold turkey. After a couple hours in thre she was tired and it was time for her to lay down again. I want to believe for her sake that peace will come on swift wings now, as her lungs are getting conjested again and the bag from the cathiter is showing alot of setiment and cloudyness from the kidneys not filtering and doing their job. We've done alot of second guessing for selfish reasons. I'm weary...I ran a red light today my mind seems to be shutting down. The nurses told me to take tomorrow off, I look as if I needed the break. They will call periodically with any news. I probably do need to rest too. Sorry to burdon you all with this. I need an outlet and this family has been a heartfelt support. My Brother Terry and I thank you all. |

Title: Re: Been a long week... Post by rextangle on Sep 15th, 2005, 9:48pm Don't ever be sorry for posting... I'm glad you guys still have the chance to talk with her while she's making sense, some of us never had the chance to say goodbye. I'm sure it will help all of you for closure. May you find some peace, Rex |

Title: Re: Been a long week... Post by Melissa on Sep 15th, 2005, 10:15pm Pegg, I've been where you are, only it was cancer. I just want to say, that I feel your exhaustion, your being ready to let go, and feeling like you can't relax or tend to your own feelings until Mom is "ok". Whether that ok is in passing or not, it's almost like you're in limbo, and time stops until something happens. Those days and hours can be very very long. Anyway, big HUGS for you and I'm here if you need to talk. love, mel |

We never get more that we can bare.........I would say you have the same shoulders my dear.....with the love and support of our friends there is nothing we can't overcome.

Title: Re: Been a long week... Post by sassy_lady on Sep 15th, 2005, 11:00pm The Last Battle If it should be that I grow frail & weak, & pain should keep me from my sleep, Then will you do what must be done? For this is the Last Battle that can't be won, You will be sad I understand, But don't let grief stand in your way, For on this day, more then the rest, Your LOVE & Friendship must stand the test. We have had so many Happy Years, You won't want me to suffer so, When the time comes, Please let me go. Take me to where my needs they'll tend, Only, stay with me until the end. And hold me firm & speck to me, Until my eyes no longer see. I know in time you will agree, It is a kindness you do for me. From pain & suffering I have been saved, Don't grieve that it must be you, Who has to decide this thing you do. We've been so close, We two, These years, Don't let your heart hold any tears. Author Unknown In our Prayers & Thoughts Lots of Love Jolene & Charlie |

Title: Re: Been a long week... Post by Jasmyn on Sep 16th, 2005, 2:44am Peg you are right about your broad shoulders. You have endured much already and came through it. You will again of that I have no doubt but you must not forget that you have to take care of Peg as well. This Peg lady is a great, loving and caring person and for her to stay that way she needs to recharge, she needs rest and she needs love. Sending you vibes and love. Jas |

Title: Re: Been a long week... Post by Sandy_C on Sep 16th, 2005, 8:01am Pegg, your Mom is probably making a little more sense because she is off of all of her meds. Try to enjoy these few moments with her, and remember, she may be enjoying them with you as well. Hold on dear, and take care of yourself. [smiley=hug.gif] Sandy |
