Hello Wonderful Mixers....just checking in to say hey. Things here have been pretty rough. We have made the decision to place my best friend in a home, as it is getting harder to care for her, and I'm not in the greatest health, although, I am GRATEFUL for the health I DO have. I have never been sadder or more down watching her fade away and, now, having to place her for 24 hour care. Her will is strong, but her body is so weak. She is eating next to nothing now and sleeps a lot, but tries to get out of bed herself. The home is about 20 minutes away from me (that is if they accept her, but I see no reason why they wouldn't, at this point). Home hospice has been a help, but NOT enough. They are never here very long and we are left to do the heavy work AND watch our loved one decline. I do not ever want to be the one to decide the end of life stage for another. I wish she could make the decision herself. Either way, I feel horrible. Horrible that I can't keep her as I promised, and horrible that I can't handle watching this process. I feel I've failed her in some way, but I know she wouldn't think so. I've been having bradycardia that needs checked, but haven't been able to leave. This is something new, and it may be a benign type, or may need pacemaker and/or meds. Please keep Barb in your thoughts. She is so special and precious to me and so many others. Take care and I hope EVERYONE is doing well here.
