Something’s not right

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

I am not making meals for mum now as she is getting meals on wheels all week Smiley Very Happy

mr shaz is worried too as he feels he is deterriating , soo will have to think of some help for us xxxx

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Alas @Shaz51  - this is a tough stage of life for all concerned

 

It sounds as if your Mum has had enough - I feel supportive of her choices - I so do - she is happy being at home and I am glad you don't have to cook for her because she has meals on wheels

 

But yes - you are still running around of course - and yes - check her mail - and does she have domestic help now or are you doing that too

 

I asked if someone had a DNR in place for an elderly parent - was that you? Is your mum ready to sign something like that - it might seem so because she is preparing herself I am sure - 

 

Both my parents had a DNR - this meant that their wishes for a peaceful end were respected - there was no drama at the time - I am sure this is easier for many people whose parents are reaching the end

 

But so hard for you Shaz - and Mr Shaz is deteriorating too - and I replied to where you shared that he has missed his morning medication

 

So much on your plate - this is your second Mum sending her best

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

hello @Determined and all

its hard not to worry about something that's bothering you @Shaz51 have you tried a worry box before? that might help..

still having my very early wake ups

will bring i up on monday when i see the Endocrinologist

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

My mind has been anywhere but settled the last couple of days @Shaz51 

 

So you are waiting for results too - and yours are with an endincronologist  - 

 

So yes - I imagine you will be thinking about that more than you want too

 

And how early are you waking up in the morning? It sounds as if it's too early to be helpful - 

 

I'm still having trouble getting to sleep - I only got naps last night - I got up and turned the TV on and ran recorded TV so I know I did get some naps in but I am blaming stress 

 

And yes - I think it's a good idea to talk to your doctor about it - though I really hate the Sleep Police - I don't like their suggestions for sleep one bit - I would rather entertain my brain that toss and turn - 

 

But everyone is different

 

All the best again

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

And how early are you waking up in the morning?-- like 1am and can`t go backto sleep for a few hours @Owlunar Heart

so this morning went back to bed at 4-30 am and the alarm went at 6-30 am

 

I imagine you will be thinking about that more than you want too --- very true ( the results could be the same / worse ???
