This is a great site helps destress. I
I just got out of a 4 day stay at hospital on IV antibiotics for stress related gerd - aspiration pnemuonia. Temp 104.9. They want me (kind of insisting) I have this wrap surgery around esphagus (bad surgery). I'm resisting because I will be in more pain afterwards. I could not take care of mom then.
Gastro told me today to drop 20lbs ASAP. I only weigh 135 but am a beach ball with legs. When stressed (always) my gut bloats up like I have an elephant fetus in there. Then aspriate. Guess where the stress comes from? You all feel it too.
So starting weightwatchers tomorrow. Taking your advise about walking, forcing myself to rejoin my hobbies and take care of myself.
We all seem to have the same issues and stories and can understand each others trials and problems. And you are right - our friends don't understand. My very BFF in the world is going through her husband having stage IV brain cancer and we do lean on each other....albiet she has it worse. He is feeling well and still working, but the threat hanging over them.
I'm going to get out more if I can. Hubby is taking a day off next week so we can go to the Super Bowl festivities (not the weekend of the game) and we are going to get a nurse.
Oldcodger, I too have woke up startled sure I heard my mom calling my name only to find out she was sound asleep.
Yes, SuziQ - the guilt is devestating and we ask "why do we feel guilty" we are the ones that stepped up to the plate.....wish I could figure that one out.
