Good morning @Zoe7 that was lovely of the vet to send thru a pic of Cat. 6am here, so 9am there .. any progress reports yet on how she was overnight or how she is now?
Hi @Faith-and-Hope Yes 3 hour time difference while visiting over here. Seems really odd actually .. Ha ha .. like living in a time warp. And sleep all over the shop .. though pretty normal for me I guess.
Visited FiL yday .. Very frail, but in good spirits. Was very happy to see his eldest son, my hubby. Spent an hour or more chatting with him at the nursing home.
Then off to the hospital to see BiL. Some better news there than what we had been getting. They had moved him from ICU to a resusc ward. His kidneys remain shut down and is being dialysed daily. They are concerned sbout his heart and lungs too, and the possibility of blood clots. He was semi aware though and seemed to drift in and out of consciousness. He appeared to recognise us during his lucid moments. They had finally arranged for a MH team to assess him. Its possible he may have gone off his Bipolar meds. He usually has weekly injections, which hes been having for many years. But there was some talk about a recent change by his local mh pro. He isnt able to tell anyone himself, and A dont seem to be talking to B at this stage. Hoping they can all get on the dame page soon and work out what to do. And then to determine if there is a chance of recovery. At least now there seems to be a glimmer of hope, which did not exist 2 days ago.
My husband is struggling all round ... emotionally, mentally and physically. The flight over was tough too .. altitude seemed to increase the pressure in his head, causing extreme headaches and dizziness. He has another spt with neurologist in large regional hospital in December. This is to review the ongoing brain and pituitary gland inflamation which seems to be whats causing all this. But thats still a long way away and hes said numerous times that he cannot put up with it any more. So hard for me, but so much harder for him. He told me a few weeks ago, when he got really down, that if he knew what his anti-cancer immuno treatment would do .. that he would not have agreed to it. But he also knows that without it, he would not be alive today. His feelings change daily, depending on his mood and how he feels any given day.
My nocturnal habits are difficult while staying with other people in their home. I see its taken me over half an hr to type this up on my little mobile. So slow. Its now almost 7am, and time for hubbys second round of meds for the morning. I best get moving.
