Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hi @Shaz51 really hoping this post finds you in better health this week so far. I'm not sure what happened last week with Mr Shaz and your mum - if you want to talk about it feel free to tag me. Take care lovely and thanks for your input on the SS while I was away.

thanks @eth

yes last week was a combination of me having a infection and still working and caring for mum and hubby

and I think mum is starting to get dementia , so everything build up until one morning tea and mum asked mr shaz -- ( why he won`t let me retire now ) I know she is worried about me but i am finding I can not say things like I used too

soo mr shaz left mum`s house and went home leaving me there

now mr shaz does not want to go back to mum`s at all

and mum has no idea what is wrong -- But she wants me to be well and stop working

tomorrow i have some more pre transplant blood tests to do

How did you get on today @Shaz51

blood tests and ask the doctor about my oxegen levels tomorrow @Former-Member

today we had the afternoon off , I am really liking having the afternoon off this week

only got mum`s tomorrow

so mr shaz has already said he is staying home

Hi @Shaz51 sorry to hear all that you've got going on atm. Hope at least your doctors find out what's going on soon. I didn't know you were on the list for a transplant. Assuming it's one of your kidneys. Glad to hear you had an afternoon off everything. Take care xx

@eth, found out I was born with only one kidney

and now it is working 21 %

@Former-Member, @Appleblossom , @Former-Member

Yes that is very hard for you @Shaz51 Having just one kidney, to start with - I only just found that out (on other thread).

Otherwise you could still be fine, with one healthy kidney - then maybe you wouldn't need a transplant.

21% effective, oh no....

Are you having to have Dialysis, or you don't need that yet?

I've known people who have had to have weekly dialysis.

no Dialysis, yet @Adge

medication and diet at the moment

That gives you more independence @Shaz51 Not having to rely on dialysis (not pleasant either).

So that's good.

I wish you could get full kidney function back - so you would not have to try for a transplant.

@Adge

the kidney funstion will never get better , it will keep decreeing over the years
