Re: Not sure what to do !!!
Alas @Shaz51 - this is a tough stage of life for all concerned
It sounds as if your Mum has had enough - I feel supportive of her choices - I so do - she is happy being at home and I am glad you don't have to cook for her because she has meals on wheels
But yes - you are still running around of course - and yes - check her mail - and does she have domestic help now or are you doing that too
I asked if someone had a DNR in place for an elderly parent - was that you? Is your mum ready to sign something like that - it might seem so because she is preparing herself I am sure -
Both my parents had a DNR - this meant that their wishes for a peaceful end were respected - there was no drama at the time - I am sure this is easier for many people whose parents are reaching the end
But so hard for you Shaz - and Mr Shaz is deteriorating too - and I replied to where you shared that he has missed his morning medication
So much on your plate - this is your second Mum sending her best

Re: Not sure what to do !!!
My mind has been anywhere but settled the last couple of days @Shaz51
So you are waiting for results too - and yours are with an endincronologist -
So yes - I imagine you will be thinking about that more than you want too
And how early are you waking up in the morning? It sounds as if it's too early to be helpful -
I'm still having trouble getting to sleep - I only got naps last night - I got up and turned the TV on and ran recorded TV so I know I did get some naps in but I am blaming stress
And yes - I think it's a good idea to talk to your doctor about it - though I really hate the Sleep Police - I don't like their suggestions for sleep one bit - I would rather entertain my brain that toss and turn -
But everyone is different
All the best again
Dec

Re: Not sure what to do !!!
And how early are you waking up in the morning?-- like 1am and can`t go backto sleep for a few hours @Owlunar
so this morning went back to bed at 4-30 am and the alarm went at 6-30 am
I imagine you will be thinking about that more than you want too --- very true ( the results could be the same / worse ???
