hi remember me? i am getting lots of experience with meds caring for my dad & stepmom. she has cancer and they have stopped treating it. the ovarian cancer is in the intestines and causing a near 100% blockage. fluid in the abdominal cavity is pressing and collapsing her lung. i am giving her lorazepam sublingually to sleep. she has a pic line and receives saline & sucrose. also a g tube where we drain her. she has maybe a month to live. my dad is recovering from a triple bypass & heart valve replacement. i am living with them in los angeles. i have learned a lot of nursing stuff in the last month.

i am not suffering much from my mild tos, but the hospital has given me some bronchitis/sinus infection that seems resistant to any treatment. i have discovered i get my best pain relief from yoga but withholding certain poses, like cobra. my problem with meds is the side effect of insomnia.
