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

    Update; things still about the same here, "rough" night last night, she had lots of pain keeping her up;u and me all night. We made it thru and she's been sleeping since about 8 am, woke her just then to see if she is ready for medicines, since it been 8 hours and told her I made her some fresh...

    I've done the same, and "you're" right, but controlling the mind, to ignore certain things now is extremely hard, just dealing with what's happening with Marie is by far the hardest thing I've ever been thru, and I've been thru a bunch of stuff. I keep wondering how in the world does any spouse...

    Need advice on transportation to medical facilities

    So true don't want anymore senseless regret for sure; enough of that over the years. The advocate for hospice came out after firing them to talk her back into it. And she told us if they would've admitted her we would've been responsible for the whole bill, they would've not paid it. So that let...

    You have that right Don; it's been "hell"; can't imagine how other folks made it thru the loss. And still not sure I will make it thru this either.

    Yeah, I've tossed that one around over and over in my head; which will be best for Marie, hospice or hospital and leaning more toward hospital. Saw both and the care she received from hospital was way better than hospice showed us, so not sure yet. My Dad died at the hospital, Mom, brother...

    Need advice on transportation to medical facilities

    I agree with you everything is a hassle for us. Marie told me this afternoon; I am the luckiest ; unlucky person in the world, meaning having me and her kids to care for her. She's always saying little things like that, like she told me more than once; you are the best thing that has ever...

    Thanks Beth, it does seem some folks are not all together there. Like today I went to Lake City to try and get the balance of Marie's meds filled after telling her pain Dr she only had 47 pills for pain because meds are on back order and don't want her in withdraws too on top of the pain. Drove...

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

    Not much to add as of now, just a big change in her sleeping habits, stays in bed to around 2 pm for last 10 days which is a big change. She hasn't gone out on the porch for 10 days either. She always loved going our there during the day. Not to mention going anywhere in the van like she used...

    AC works; but Marie never did like riding in the truck. She did say the last time when she was riding in it, ,that this truck rides smoother than the van. So there's that.

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

    Update; there are some changes in Marie as far as mobility, which is "non existent", now, and sleeping more in mornings than before. Still not use to it, because for quite awhile she would wake all hours in pain and up early, for the seventh month of this nightmare; "thrust" upon us, "without" a...

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

    I agree with you, Faye, just waiting on her strength to come back some, lately she's been too weak to do anything without help. Will call them; soon as she is up to it.

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

    This was a "first"; came on to say a couple things and I was still logged in, go figure; that will make Marie happy. :) She's always saying to me, why you're logging out, no one thinks you're just sitting there with your tongue hanging out. Dr. did the referral for Hifu for me, Krystal called...

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

    Update while looking online we saw a video about Hifu, and it says they do outpatient non invasive treatment for all kinds of cancer and even bone cancer for terminally ill too. They say that it's 20 to 25 mins and it burns nerve endings causing the pain and kills cancer cells, but not good...

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

    Update on Marie; she woke me at 5 am, in severe pain asked me to get her a med. ER had changed her med from the morphine, and said that morphine is what's causing the dry mouth problems, and swallowing, so he prescribed dilaudid, instead. He told me to tell her pain clinic to change he to that...
