Hi Missy,
Actually, my lady is doing pretty well considering, She has been in good spirits. She and I have become quite the buds. She is always happy to see me, gives me hugs and tells me she loves me. She is such a dear sweet woman. Maybe what you said is true, not knowing what is going on is truly a blessing. The family is still in the process of making some decisions, major surgery, removal of her bladder which would mean she would end up with a bag, she would truly hate that, the catheter they sent her home with she truly did not like or understand, I just can't imagine how she would handle the other. The doctor also mentioned chemo and radiation, many things all unpleasant to say the least. One can't know how one would react if it was them making the decision, I hope I am never in that position. A home health nurse came today, my lady was not happy to see her. She was frightened, went directly to her room to try and escape. The nurse said she needed a BP and pulse before she left, really unnecessary in my opinion. The nurse went into the room and my lady became very agitated and scared, was it really necessary, do you think she really got an accurate reading, no. I held her hand and told her it would be over before she knew it (my hands were really cold all am) she has told me before about my cold hands, she says 'cold hands, warm heart,' then she smiles her sweet smile, anyhow, the nurse finally finished and left and she and I started talking about other things. I got her laughing and convinced her to come back downstairs and watch the birds with me. "I thank God every day for the blessing he gives me to make friends and relate to my "buds", to make their life maybe just a little bit easier and happier if I can, they sure make my life happier just knowing them. Anyways, that is what is happening at the moment.
I'll be praying that removal isn't the answer.
