Battling MI whilst caring for someone with MI

@utopia

hey luv, how are you?

how did your psychologist appt go? i hope it was a good session for you.

sounds like the weather was beautiful yesterday!

have you had a good day?

this morning i had to call centrelink as i need to find out what will happen if mum ends up going into aged care. it may sound premature but i need to know what the options are, how it will impact mum, and also how it will impact mum - as i live in her home. im slowly getting my head around it but there is a lot of information to take in.

saw my uncle in hospital this afternoon. he seemed in good spirits, we were having a nice chat 🙂 they couldnt remove all of the tumour in his bowel, some of the cancer was too close to blood vessels so they will try to get rid of it with chemotherapy, as he will need to have chemo for the spots they found on his lungs 😞 its pretty full on for him atm.

mum has been good this week. i spoke to her on the phone today, she was getting grumpy with me - she was in one of her demanding moods *sigh* ... i'll go and see her tomorrow.

what have you been up to luv? any plans for the weekend?

@outlander

Hello @outlander, @utopia, @Former-Member, @MDT

@outlander

hey luv. im trying not to get too caught up in it all. the way they have set up all the aged care fees, etc is a whirlwind. i am getting my head around it though. and if i go back to work, it impacts my living situation greatly. just need to know what may happen if certain situations arise. have had a few conversations with centrelink the past few days hehe! keeping busy is good for me though - not too busy though! lol

the pain in your hand is getting better luv? youre such a good big sister! do you go riding with them too luv?

Hello @Shaz51@outlander@Bella1978. I hope you are all well.

My appointment went well. I'm feeling a lot better. Happy moments are occurring.

Glad your mum had such a good week. Have the hospital staff advised when their assessment will be completed? I'd find it really frustrating not knowing. It's good you are doing your research now - while you have the time. It's a lot of information to sort through.

Planning on doing the 5km ParkRun (walk) tomorrow morning. Then watching my son's soccer game. Then helping my mum shop for a recliner armchair.

@utopia, glad your appointment went well. and that you are feeling a lot better.

thinking of you tomorow and hope your son wins his game xoxo

Thanks @outlander@Shaz51. He would love to win a game. Been a long time since they last won one.
