Just an update. Was in the hospital for 2 1/2 days, nasty infection on the side of my foot, finally healing. Can't do chemo till it heals so I am in limbo waiting. More antibiotics and all that good stuff then started having panic attacks in the mornings so on a pill to help that. I am just a mess and my poor 77 year old parents are constantly running for me. My sons should be doing more but trying to help when they live an hour away is hard on them since they live over and hour away and both work. My Dad doesn't under why they can't drop everything and be here when I really am not what I call sick and don't feel I need someone here constantly. Am talking to the chemo doc on the 17th then see what she thinks cause she doesn't seem to want me to get hospice. I'll try to keep you posted but my computer keeps being a brat and crashing. Hugs to all Cuties!

Keep my fingers crossed for you on the 17th :o)
Hugs to you, Bettina

I'm sure that your parents don't mind doing things for you - after all that's what us parents do and I hope the boys can come up on the weekend to help you out a bit. It's hard when families are working as you have to wait on their free time to be with them.
In the meantime, I hope your computer starts to behave, they are great when they work, but oh! the inconvenience when things go wrong. Hold in there, you are one of my heroines too. I pray for you every night. Love and blessings Chris
I am wondering if there might be something other than hospice available to you. Someone that comes in once a day and does some of the chores or maybe just a cup of tea or the like. Some insurances allow for home care.
As far as you computer being a brat, may be a "time out" will do the trick. Try it maybe he will cooperate
I am sending hugs, hugs and more hugs. Hope you feel better soon.

Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to chat quietly with either or both of your sons about your situation and your concerns for your parents. Sometimes, we can be a bit reluctant to actually ask for help, not wanting (as we see it) to impose on people but perhaps the time has come for you to ease up on the personal pride and ask your sons for their support.
I hope that I have not imposed my thoughts into your private family life but sometimes it takes an outsider to point the way through the trees. Above all, I do hope that life gets a whole lot better for you very soon.
Sorry about the foot. It kind of put a damper on your dancing for awhile. Your sweet daddy just wants to keep taking care of his little girl. Perfectly normal and perfectly precious. Just try thanking him for his concern and tell him you told the boys you'd call when you need them and you don't just now.
Can't wait to hear what your chemo doc says so be sure and come back and let us know. Still praying daily for you, my friend.
I am attaching a picture that if you can, print off and just show it to your computer. I don't think any other words will be necessary. Hugs and love! Jerrilyn
