I did not go to the gym today, too much to get done today and I have enough physical work on hand to burn up any extra calories. I am very close to being able to put stuff back in the room and wrap it up for now. Other tasks will have to wait.
Unfortunately we received a grim prognosis for my BIL this morning. My sister was called to the hospital early this morning to meet with his GP, never a good sign. He had conferred with 3 of Allens's specialists and they all agree that we need to call Hospice in for him, the wound on his backside is just not healing... he only weighs 111 pounds, he is a diabetic and he is severely depressed. So it's not good. He will probably come home soon, so at least he'll be out of that damned hospital.
I have been thinking that I have not experienced any big challenges since making very wonderful progress in my treatment for depression; well this next month or two I think I will be tested. I hope I'm ready. Some excellent groundwork has been laid for me to able to practice the good coping skills I have learned, I will need to rely on this heavily I think. Good thing I decided to stay in treatment.
I'm not sure if I will tell Erin about this or not. It will be our last session and we have other things to get done. Plus, I am not sure if I want to throw that on her shoulders right before she leaves.
I'll make the call at game time.
Peace.

AuntieJane - so sorry to hear about your BIL. I had a good experience with Hospice when my Mom was ill. They were able to prescribe her meds that elevated her mood and managed her pain. We were acually able to have conversations with her during her last days (something that wasn't possibel prior to that). As for you - take care.

Thanks very much, I will do my very best! You are right about the meds, etc., his sister in law worked for Hospice until she retired last year and she said they do everything, he also has rheumatoid arthritis and is in constant pain from that, so they will be able to keep him more comfortable.

Jan, I am so sorry to of Allen's situation. You will need to employ all the coping skills that you have acquired to keep yourself well. I am confident that you are up to the challenge. Getting away for a bit is an excellent opportunity for some quality Auntie Jan time. I am continuing to pray for you and your family. Bon Voyage!

I am so sorry to hear about your BIL. Lean heavily on your faith. It will help get you through this and it'll help him too. My former pastor used to always say "Don't forget in the dark what you
learned in the light." I have nnever forgotten that little pearl of wisdom. It got me through a lot of tough situations. Hospice folks are wonderful people. They'll really help the whole family to be as comfortable as possible in this situation. Praying for your family and for you. Blessings, my friend.

Thank you everyone... it has been a really long day so I am going to bed, but I will post about it tomorrow. I am not going to S. Florida now, my friend has postponed their trip, they didn't want me to be away from my family right now so I won't have to worry about getting ready to leave. Thanks again I'm off to bed now. GB

Oh, Jan, you must be disappointed about your trip being cancelled. Have a really deserved good rest tonight and tell us about it all tomorrow. Love you, Friend.
