Seems to me the PT is paying off. What ever routines they have you doing, do them diligently after you get sprung!

Assisted living at least the one I heard She pretty basically told me I could just sign over my retirement check. Another place told me I didn't make enough. I'll do some checking when I'm over there. Wow I didn't realize how much it was weighing on me to gain some weight. This morning I woke up at 5am and normally I just laid there and waited fo 6am when the coffee comes out, this morning I fell back asleep and slept till 7am I never do that.Sos I feel so good today, Normally
Yes it is. I have to do some looking and see what I can find. It's insanity I tell ya. If worse comes to worse after Ginny is gone I could move back over here but all the people I know are over there, You can find it lower but I need to be there to really check it out. Then I will really be there to look.
Man I still can't believe how much my weight was worrying me. After I got weighed yesterday it was like a giant weight was lifted off me. I was so worried that I was going to lose again.

Now as long as they don't give any guff about getting out, I am planning on getting Pizza for everyone either Wed or Thu. Even my eggs being over Hard isn't bothering me. My fave nurse is here today. She is a kick, name is Shantil. I 'll get a pic if I can do it sneakily Shes been off for 3 days. She's a temp from Florida up in
Seems to me that the exercising increases your metabolic rate - and forces your system into building muscle mass. Hence some increase in your weight.
Keep up the good work!
I weigh too much. I'll just stay flabby. (Wonder if I get really flabby I'll be svelt again?)Seems to me that the exercising increases your metabolic rate - and forces your system into building muscle mass. Hence some increase in your weight.

Yep I am. I am just eating which I wasn't doing.
Well like it or not I have to get outta here on Friday. Ginnys Cancer is really progressing fast. I was expectiong to have 6 months but I don't know now. I got a pic of her and she is really looking bad. Now my daughter and gdaughter are takeing over what I'm allowed to do. This is pissing me off greatly. But guess I will have to put up with it. If I get out Friday then i need togo home check things out and tell gdaughter what I want to keep so when her and hubby go there they know what to get. I guess I do need a little more time but I feell I'm fine to continue driving they don't so will have to show them on the way back to the other side of the mountains. I signed the papers to sell the house so its on the market. gotta get it listed while the prices are high. I can't believe it is worth nearly $100000 more then I paid for it and there are none for sale in the area driving the prices up. I saw that pic of Ginny and she looks bad. I need to get over there. I was going to do a few thing here but no time for that. This really sucks I just assumed I would have at least 4-5 months. She doesn't look like that. So much to do and so little time. 3 months ago I would never have dreamed this would be happening but it is and way too fast. The girls don't give me any credit for what I can do only what they think I can't do. i am really getting ...... they don't even give me a chance

{{{{Patrick}}}} Your daughter and g-daughter love you and are willing to do whatever they can to help. Do you know how lucky you are? Remember when you said you were going to let them make decisions? Let them! Your focus should be on Ginny and spending whatever time she has left with her. Besides, I'd be willing to bet that you don't have the strength you think you have after being out of commission for so long. The brain is willing but the body, not so much... (And don't underestimate the toll your emotional stress will take.) I don't have a fraction of the problems you've had and reality kicks in when I try to do something I've always been able to do and find out I can't! It's a shock! And the stamina ain't what it used to be either. Really Patrick, keep your eye on what's truly important and try to go with the flow.
Yeah Janet your probably right. I just need to get over so I can send some time with Ginny,
Its just I don't know what I'm going to do without her. Its just happeneng so fast

Maybe part of the reason it seems so fast is because you've been laid up _baway from all of it for so long, but life moved on while you weren't participating. You stopped. Life didn't. You can handle the house & all that later. Even months from now. Din't be in such a rush to be rid of it. Everyone just focus on Ginny right now.

Thought I'd check in Ginny is going downhill at an accelerated pac since it hit the brain. I'm still inth nursing hope get out net week with legs that fit. Her memory is going fast and she is having problems putting sentences together. This is really sad. I'm losing her fast, I can't believe how fast. Don't know what I'm going to do. She gets worse everyday. Damned cigarettes. So its not a good time here at all.
I'm so sorry, Pat. I know how badly you want to be with her right now. Work hard to get whete you need to be to get out. Do the Dr's know about her?

I totally agree with Kenna. Just do what you have to do to get strong enough to get out and be with Ginny. You just take it one day, one hour at a time. Be in the present with her and worry about what you're going to do later. You have a loving family to help you.
- Yes Kenna they do but I'm getting legs that fit `1st of next week.. She can barely see now. They think she has a tumor in her front part of her brain and it is causing her eyes to swell shut. Since she is on Hospice they can't do anything but it is spreading so fast. I was hoping to spend a little time but from the sounds she won't be around very much longer.. She can't walk she has to wear diapers, it is just amazing how fast it is spreading. She is having to take Morphine every hour plus some other pain killers. She doesn't even know when someone is there. It is insane to me how fast it is taking her. 6 months ago we thought maybe we'd have a little time but not anymore. I'm just hoping and praying she stays around till another week. I can walk some and am going to work on primarily that next week. I'm going to use up my days for skilled nursing soon so if this happens again I'll be screwed too. Might as well jump off a bridge. It's weird how life changes so fast. Who would have known last year that things would change this much in this amount of time. I don't know if hospice was the right choice she didn't want to fight it anymore, there are really no treatments for her. The oncologist made sure to let us know that this is the type of Cancer you get directly frjom smoking. He was very abrupt with his statement. I don't know where I will be if I get hurt again. Screwed I guess.
Wrote that and didn’t send it. I feel terrible feel like crying all the time. This just isn’t fair. I just don’t know what to do or how I’m supposed to handle this. Wish I did. I’m losing my 1 and only love and don’t know what to do
From personal experience, having gone through this same process, especially as the main caregiver (24/7) for my mother over 11 years ago, even with hospice care for the final month (the worse part, when the hospice nurse was not around, I was the one giving her medications daily & the morphine every 10-20 minutes, changed her diapers, etc. - since no one else, even other family members - were/would not personally get involved with her care). AND - although, she had many different ailments as she got older as most people do (Quintuple Bypass Operation/Type 1 Diabetes & Leg Amputation, etc.) - she died from lung cancer, just over 1 month after being diagnosed in November 2008 (Died 12/28/08). . . .
So given this - I really hate to be so blunt to say this, but at this point and time there is nothing "You" can do, except to accept the facts as they are. The most important thing is, even though she may or may not hear you, or even know who you are - Try your best to communicate with Ginny NOW how much YOU LOVE HER, that is until and if you can get to her before she dies.
Please know - Sending "You" & Ginny . . .
GOOD VIBES & POSITIVE THOUGHTS . . .

Dear Patrick,
Even though you can't be with her right now, she is the best hands with Hospice. They are earth-walking angels in my opinion.
Any chance you could be transported to her bed side for a day? Better in a wheel chair, rather than not at all!
Just know that our hearts ache for you and Ginny!!!

I agree with Iffy. Is there any way that you could visit her this weekend? They're not going to be doing much with you over the weekend anyway right? Even if it's only for a day.
