Not your Dad’s time yet @Anastasia I hope you have his Christmas present ready

There IS a God and He does love us and He does answer our prayers.

Re: Trying to stay Sane

Yesterday it all got too much. I could hear my breaths and I was ruminating. I emailed boss to ask to talk. When we did speak I broke down and explained my situation both Dad and son. He told me I was in no state to work and to take some time off. I gratefully packed up having dealt with the urgents. I stayed at Mums with my boy. We had Macca's for dinner (Mum's choice) after the hospital which is something Mum and I rarely have so a "treat"

Today my boy has his depot so we will have brekkie with Mum and head off for the three hour appointment.

Hoping my Dad has had some sleep tonight and his hiccups have continued to subside.

Feeling bad to work place, my new boss is being kind and compassionate but I still want to leave.

Glad I'm taking medication now. I dread to think if I wasn't where my headspace would be.

Love to you all and I hope you are all ok. I am sorry I am completely out of the loop with all of you. Hopefully I'll catch up soon

@Eve7 @pancakes @Appleblossom @Emelia8 @NatureLover 🙏💞

Well done, that can't have been easy...and now you have the time you need to deal with everything. Am glad.

How long does your Dad need to stay in hospital?

Good luck with the depot today...

No need to worry about us here, we will be here when you feel ready. In the meantime, sending lots of wishes your way (and your Dad, and your boy, and your Mum). 💚

Dads dr said he can go home tomorrow 🎉🥂😄🙏

If he continues to improve then chemo should start in approx two weeks.

Now my boy is trying to get back in to hospital 😳

Depot appointment now, then home to switch my brain off and get some sleep I think!

NDIS review results due today...*tap, tap, tap still waiting

Love to all ❤️ @NatureLover @Eve7 @pancakes @Appleblossom @Emelia8 ❤️

Re: Trying to stay Sane

Finally some good news for you @Anastasia . Sounds like your dad is making good progress post surgery. So his chemo has only been set back by 2 weeks.

So your dad to leave hospital and your Boy likely going back in. 😳 Revolving doors. Any chance that after his depot shot today, your Boy may no longer feel the need to go back to hospital? Or is it at this time that he feels most unsafe?

NDIS review results ... Here's hoping its the result you want, and your Boy needs.

Much love to you. And I really hope you get to have some restorative slumber this afternoon.

Emelia 💞

Re: Trying to stay Sane

Chemo dr (can't think of name) saying weeks before treatment as bl☕☕ds all over the place 😔

Tumour on bile duct growing and reason for surgery but without chemo will continue to grow.

I am not feeling great today, very low. Boys depot shot and then covid test so he can go to hospital himself has me feeling very melancholy and well emotionally exhausted. He's first in line when bed is available apparently.

Selling Dad's car and someone here to look at it just makes it feel even more :pile_of_poo: cause he loves that car.
