Yeah, I have an aunt who is terminally ill with cancer. She turned 90 on July 11th, same day I turned 50. We have always been close and this has happened fast so it will be hard on me.
She's incredibly sharp mentally but she's in an 'any day' situation.
I booked an hour w/ my pdoc recently, $175.00: I get back $45.00 from insurance. We had a good talk but she isn't the greatest counselor but I've known her a while and just talking is sometimes all it takes.
I can't afford even periodic therapy and don't want to join a group, church, or circus so I'll deal with it. I'd be doing twice a week therapy now if I could swing it. 5 day a week massages, etc.
I've really been in this state of mind for years, not knowing what to do, apathetic. If I knew what to do, I wouldn't do it. It is worse now because of my aunt and job instability.
It's just a fact that this disease is serious and we all suffer far too much. It's just my time right now.
I hope your husband lays down the law with the drill instructor coach. Your's and the others kids should have water anytime they need it. Sorry the post is so long.You are quite a caring person, judy. I've always liked to see your name here.
