Dear Kathy
I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. It is really hard and the good news is that your family has finally accepted what is happening to Mom.
I wasnt sure what you meant in your note..but assume that you managed to get CCAC to offer you some hours to help watch over your mom. I am no expert, but I hope you are able to get them to continue to offer you enough care so that you can rest and then cope during the days.
Also sorry to hear about not being able to get the catheter in. I am hoping that you have briefs and pads so that your mom can rest in bed and that her needs will be met.
How aware is your mom right now? What meds are you upping...pain meds?
I am thinking of you today...hoping that you get some rest and that you keep in touch - even if its a brief update. Again, you are in our thoughts...and you are not alone.
Remember that you are doing all you can, that you are only human, and that your efforts are so important to your mom. You are giving her a gift that not everyone can give. Remember that and let it comfort you - as you comfort your mom.
Sending you thoughts and a hug virtually,
NatR
