Title: Poor, pitiful me...
Post by kimmeesue on Apr 24th, 2005, 7:37pm
Having a rough day and mad at the world.  Found out my favorite aunt (like a 2nd mom) has 3-6 weeks to live (liver cancer).  Knew she had the cancer, didn't think it had progressed so far and had been negotiating with God.  Funny how He answers our prayers just not in the way we want.  Then my husband almost electrocuted himself which scared the crap out of me. Then to top it all off I find out my almost 96year old grandmother with alzheimers has lost 17 pounds since Feb. because she can't see well enough to feed herself and the f&*%ing nursing home won't feed her and the only time they get on the ball is when I go there (8 hour drive) and raise hell and I have been twice since Christmas  and she keeps asking for me and I know I am the only one she can count on even though she has two daughters in the same town and I arranged for Haspice care and they are doing "the best they can".  And I have had three Kip 7-8 today and nothing helps and the crying  just makes it worse and AAAGGGHHHH!!!!
Ok.  Now I feel much better.
Thanks for being there. Here?

I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt, Kimmeesue.  :'(

And I'm sorry for the hard time ch is giving you. But you're right, having a bad attack makes it easier to cry.

Take care,
Sandie

Thanks so much everybody.  You know, the head is the least of it, when you wake to it, and it screeches away throughout the day it's kind of like a drippy faucet or a noisy pipe, you just go on, but the emotional stuff is what gets to me. And there are super disfunctional family issues peripherally with both my aunt (dad's side) and grandmother (mom's side) and both are in the same town which should make it easier but my parents are divorced and my mom is bitter (they have only been divorced for 46 years, geesh) and I am an only child caught in the middle and my mom hates the aunt who is dying.  IS it any wonder I want to crawl in a hole??? I think the only one with any sense is my grandmother with alzheimers and I am beginning to hope it's hereditary and that I get it soon. [smiley=confused2.gif]

Just a follow-up.  My aunt died yesterday.  Much sooner than the three to six weeks which I guess is a blessing.  No sufferring, just lapsed into a coma.  I'm trying to remember to celebrate her life and not feel so gloomy.  That's how she would have wanted it .  Fortunately the demon is giving me a break, just lurking but not making himself known.  This aunt lost an eye to melanoma about 16 months ago.  Maybe I should rethink those times when I want to pluck this sucker out of my head.  Of course they replace hers with a beautifully custom hand painted one that didn't hurt a bit.  Hmmm.COuld they do that with my brain?  Lots of pretty colors?
