Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Barbara I'm sure you are struggling physically and emotionally. Sure wish I was closer to help.

Don't want anyone to think I don't care because I do and I have been reading all of the posts. After being at the clinic three days in a row, they removed my catheter today because of infection. Unfortunately, my meds still aren't up to where they want them to be dose-wise because of the nausea moving on to the next extreme. If we can't get this sorted out soon they will switch me to self-administered injections. I'm concerned that the loss of the catheter will make things even more complicated given that we can't get the meds sorted out. The primary reason I've not been posting is that I feel pretty crappy all the way around. I've lost a lot of weight, including 10 pounds in just the past 12 days and a total of 25 since mid-October, and yesterday they did some labs. Today they call and it turns out that the results were a mess. I've become quite dehydrated so we;re now addressing that too. Feeling pretty shaky and weak and still waiting for GP (who was off today) to get the labs that were faxed so they can decide what to do. Other things going on too. My closest friend has been hospitalized twice in the past two weeks with hemmorhaging but is now home. Another friend died last week (diagnosed with leukemia on Monday and died of an aneurysm on Thanksgiving morning. And now more...a client of mine was in a car accident and, along with many fractures and lacerated liver and spleen, has been in coma ever since due to global brain injury. They've revived her twice and her poor family is a mess. A friend brought me to the hosp yesterday so I could just sit with the family for a time to offer some support. Just very sad and extremely fatigued. I feel like I've been slammed from all sides and am struggling both physically and emotionally. So I'm just going to lay low. Hope that you all understand.
