''He loved to run, and...he was fast. I lost my son when he was just 16...
I hurt for you, that has to be the hardest thing to deal with.
Yeah David at first I was PO'd because I was thinking with my something not my brain. Ginny doesn't require a lot of attention "BUT" When she does it will be something that I can't do. It is really different how fast this Cancer is working on her. It is changing from day to day in fact hour to hour. Yesterday she said she felt like she was ready to die at any moment. I feel so bad that I can't be there for her.I'm just praying I can get things tied up here in time to be with her. This really sucks but I know that this is the best way for both of us. She is getting good care there and meals and someone is always there. I don''t know what the resst of the family thinks of how we are handling this and really don't care. I'm sure this is the best for Gin and that's what is important. It seems like we found out about this a month aga but really we have kknown for a year almost. Sheesh I had a cup and a glass sitting on my little hospital bed table. pusjed my button she comes in and asks what I want I said I have these two things to get off my table. She looked at them and said I can have someone come in and take them. So I said you don'w want to take them and put them on my counter by the sink. She said well I guess I could. So she picked them up and set them down 10' away. Wow tough job. Well breakfast is here eggs over sort of hard just the way I hate them. Just can't make over easy 1/2 and english muffin, hot cereal not oatmeal but the other cheerios I'm not a big breakfasst eater unless it is not normal breakfast food. Like bisuits and gravy. Very rare to get that. I hate this because I'm really hungry and nothing I really like.Thanks for the update!
Seems to me that Ginny with her sister makes sense, as that's where most of the rest of the family support is.
Yep, get yourself healthy and stronger.
wELL THE EGGS SUCK THE eNGLISmUFFIN IS GOOD EGGS ARE INEDIBLE TO ME. I like them runny ddamn I was really hungry.+Nothing out of the ordinary breakfast suck. Now I gotta go till noon and hope for the best. They keep telling me I need to eat more if it was edible I would.
Perhaps it’s good, though it’s tough to be separated. You can focus on getting better and Ginny has close support and the help she needs. Try to focus on her having family for support while you’re ‘rebuilding’ so you can be around her again.
Glad you are doing better, you sound much better! This living arrangement may be difficult, but it puts each of you in a place to feel better instead of struggling on your own. You both have someone who loves you close by to keep an eye out, & help you as needed. Now to get you stronger, & heavier so you can get home & get all of that wrapped up & done. Time for something different!

Pretty sure we all are relieved that you are thinking clearer! Although the situation hasn't dramatically changed, at least you're now capable of evaluating the situation rationally. IOW, congrats for climbing out of the drug ditch!
Hopefully someone can visit and bring you what you crave. Nursing homes are not known for their culinary skills, nor their all encompassing menu.
Chow down and stay around, my friend!!!
Patrick - your posts sound a lot clearer.
You take care of you !
The food may suck - but you need to eat it anyway.

{{{{Patrick}}}} This sounds like a very reasonable arrangement. I'm sure the rest of the family is relieved so they don't have to worry about you both being home alone. Now at least you're both in a place where you have people around you to help when needed. You just concentrate on getting yourself stronger. You already sound much better.
I know what you mean about breakfast. I'd rather have leftovers from dinner for breakfast than what people usually think of breakfast foods. I'm not thrilled with the sweet stuff for breakfast although I'll eat it if somebody puts it in front of me. So maybe you could slather the muffin with butter or even some jelly and leave the hard eggs alone. Can you request what you want for breakfast or do they just show up and surprise you? Either way you've got to eat!!
Sorry I didn't see your post earlier. We were at our son's house all day yesterday watching poor little Beckett who was sick with a fever. Didn't get home til after 8:00 and we crashed in bed not long afterward. It's a good thing young people have the babies because I couldn't do this every day now!!!
Yeah I told the I want to leave next Friday And they are already telling me no. Don't even give me a chance. I don't understand it, they are saying they don't want me to get hurt. I now have a total of 0 people here everyone has left now that they have me safely locked. To be honest I don't even kknow what to do at this point. I have no idea what pills they have me on now. in the morning I get around30 of them. It's crazy I have to split them into 3 shares. Everyone has left me here. Ginny is at her sisters. My daughter and 'gdaughter are at their respective homes 300 miles away and here I am. The doc says I can't leave because I might get hurt each therapist has their own reason. The house is still sitting empty, it is the only tool I have left in my arsenal and I won't put it up for sale till I get out of here. The only way I can do that is AMA. So I go to 3 therapies a day like a good little drone. Now they want to limit my coffee intake, they think I drink too much. What's nextYeah, not a good situation. And a strong reason to do all the rehab they put you through, so you can have that opportunity.
I know I am unsteady walkin but not to the point of needing to be kept here. I know my insurance runs out after so many days of long term care not sure how many. I'm sure I'll get the boot then. The problem is whaere I am at as far as days. I hve what seems like the better part of my life has been here since Jan 1st here. Blood sucking people. I really want out. The food is about 1/2 is pretty good then the rst . Oh good a different aid so no problem gettina another cup. I've gotten to look forward to mealtime. When I told them I want out next Friday and they said I will pass it along, with a negatve sort of appearance. Now they've got me over a barrel. They are giving me enought pain meds that I have built up a dependance on them so I amfiguring my daughter probably cam over here to get them so if I leave I will not be feeling well at all. I guess I am a danger if not to me then others. Have you felt endangered. Damn I hate Breakfast. I am so hungry in the morning then I eat the slop they call food cold scrambled eggs and Cheerios. UGH!! I could really go for biscuits and gravey. I am so thin you would not believe it. I can't believe it. 95 at last weigh in. I think they have me on some kind of appetite increaser seems like I am hungry all the time starving in fact. I guess there is one called Marinol I think made from the humble weed. They think I slipped a cog and who know maybe I did. If this is the treatment for it it's not working it is hindering if anything it is mzking it worse. I feel like I am imprisone and I don't like it at all. Well I think I'll get up and open the window its hot they keep i at 77 during the day, too warm for me. My advice is if something bothers you mentally as this situation has me do not go to a Nursing and Rehab facility. You may never get out. Here I sit 5 miles from home and can't get a ride there unless I call a cab. I may resort to that.
Oh boy it's shower day a high point for the week. Had to find out so know whther to put clean clothes now or later and it will be later.
So, did you get the shower? I gotta ask. When you get a shower what do you do with your prosthetics? I'd assume you couldn't keep them on in the shower so do you need someone to take them and then hand them back in to you when you're done? Sorry to be so nosy, but that thought popped into my head and I can't get it out.
She takes them off gives me a shower like adog bath. Another day I can chalk up. It's really starting to lose its amusement vlue but he I think I need it I didn't take the circustance very well. And I got it feels good.
Finally got me night meds. I don't understand why they can't get it that I like to take them before I eat. They work better and I can eat better. Both I need. I am planning on getting out next Friday. Get the house up for sale she told me that the house we bought for 118000 will easliy bring 225f
K and more then likely 250K. The area I live in is at a prmium.

It has been a long drag in here. I'm ready to get out I hope. I feel like I'm getting institutionalized
