"Marie", has a new primary care "Doctor" now

Mary Stetler said:
It is insane, the incompetence or inattention to detail the medical industrial community has devolved into. We had similar experiences here but our distances are not so great. Try to stay up on the meds and don't run out. Do they have a clinic pharmacy? I didn't know about ours and then we could have gotten meds before we left. Of course, that didn't mean they had the stock available either. 😖

Mary it sure isn't the medical of old. This causes more pain and anxiety, just what we don't need.
I try to keep my attitude in check, since noting can do.

Marie--I hope you get some positive news from the PET scan. Sorry you have had such a frustrating time trying to get proper pain medicine.

Jake--please see a doctor and get some antibiotic eye ointment. You need to take care of yourself so you can take care of Marie!

Hang in there, you two.

Jakes eyes are doing better, although I agree, he needs to see a doc if they don't heal soon.
 
Made doctors appointments today to primary doc and the cancer doc. Pet Scan, which he showed me all X-rays, and places Marie has cancer. He said it's stage 4, it has ate almost all pelvic bones, eating chest bones, in the brain, in lungs, and spine and that by losing over 40% of body mass, he doesn't think she would make it thru any kind of treatment. Referral to inside Hospis care, which I took her to see after another panic attack after bad news, so she could see what it looked like there.

Oh my goodness, Jake. I'm so sorry about Marie's diagnosis; you both must be devastated.

Jake,
This is horrible, I'm at a loss for words, if I may, Marie is a good 🧡 friend. There's no words for how gut wrenching this news is. Please take care of yourself and make Marie as comfortable as possible.

I'll be thinking and I'm praying for the both of you.

Tony

We all love you guys, and the news about the cancer is so devastating, I just don’t know what to say.
I am glad that you are still being able to be at home with Jake. Bobby and I have both talked about this kind of thing, and I would much rather be at home than have to die in a hospital, but don’t want to be a burden on Bobby or my family.
It is just something that each person has to decide what to do, and I know we all support you, whatever you and Jake decide is the best thing to do, Marie.
You are both in our prayers, and we are praying for God to comfort both of you. Sending love and hugs ……

Wow! That is certainly the worst result she could get. Hugs to both of you! Is inside hospice care at a facility or home? Hopefully something can be done to relief the panic attacks and pain and you both can find some level of peace. My best goes out to you during this difficult time.
