Julie, you need a break, don't you? A break from caring, and a break from worrying. And don't we all?
You are so brave, handling this by yourself. I remember when my mother-in-law went through the same exact thing, with her husband in another room at the care center, and she wouldn't even tell him what she was going through, so he wouldn't worry. She had no one to even take her over.....didn't want to "bother" anyone. She was brave, but lonely. I'm glad you had a friend.
I hope you get the biopsy really quickly. And call them and ask if you can take tylenol, instead of the NSAID, for your pain. I'm guessing they probably don't want you to take anything that might cause bleeding after the biopsy, but that doesn't mean you can't have some pain relief.
And thanks for the dryer tip....never thought of that. Altho, my house cleaner did give me the tip of using the dryer to clean drapes of their accumulated dirt and dust, without having to clean them.
My oven went out, finally, this week, too. It was over 50 years old, and I got 10 more years than I deserved out of it. So, it's just something all the time. A friend loaned me a toaster oven to use in the meantime, and I was looking forward to trying it out, because my son just loves the one he has with his roommates.
But, maybe when Doran gets home. I just talked to him this morning, and he wants to "get some exercise" so he must be feeling better. I'm going to work out and then go over and take him for a walk. His doctor said at least Saturday for discharge, so I think I just might escape and go shopping. Kohl's is having a sale, and I feel the need to buy a bargain:woohoo:
I hope you are not in as much pain. I hope you get to celebrate with Dick, and I hope you get to sit down and just be "in the moment" for a while, hold hands, and celebrate life.
I ate a half bag of popcorn last night, and went to bed a little "tipsy". Felt good.
