Hoping things are better for you and Doug.

You wishes for a 'healthy' toilet worked :D It was only blocked and I got to see the hottest plumber in the universe :p

My thoughts are always with you and with Doug :hug:

BIG HUGs (and love).

Barb

Thank you Donna and Barb.

I called Doug sweet pea or something to that effect and he called me sugar plum or something to that effect.

Doug has a bed sore I've been putting cream on.

Barb, glad to hear that your toilet problem was not that bad. And a good looking plumber to boot. :)

It sounds like you have been there and are really taking good care of him.
You are an angel to him.
((((HUGS))))

Thank you Bizi. Doug keeps telling me all the time how much he appreciates me. Even his family tells me they appreciate all I do for him. If they don't stop it'll go to my head but then my self esteem could afford to be raised a notch or 2. :)

I could be a nurse?
 

I did some work outside this evening and it felt good. I plan to go out again when my pain levels drop and water my flowers and take the bills out to the mailbox. I massaged Doug all over about an hour ago till he was almost asleep so I'll go back in about 2 more hours to see if he's up. His uncle was there and changed the wet bed sheets as I was having a hard time doing it with Doug in the bed and the bed up in the corner. I had to get up in the bed with Doug to try to put the sheet under the mattress in the corner. I told him jokenly that I didn't realize I'd be in the bed with a man so soon again and laughed. Poor Doug though is no longer laughing today. He's talking out of his head again. Then when his uncle left I went back to Doug's and Doug told me he didn't feel comfortable with asking his uncle to put the cream on his behind where the bed sore is so I did that. I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I'd be performing some sort of nurse's aid work. It is not half bad work if your in good enough shape to do it. It is kind of rewarding to make people comfortable. Although very depressing to see them die slowly.

and it is even harder when you care as much as you do about that person....

This weekend is starting out on a very sad note. Doug was having a real hard time breathing and wanted to go to the hospital. The hospice nurse said he just needed to do his breathing treatment 45 minutes apart so he did. Doug asked me to sit in the bed with him and hold him I know it is looking bad for him to ask me that. We both cried and then sang some hymes and that's when I really cried. Doug comforted me. When I left he was almost asleep and seemed fine. It is a good thing I stocked up on food this past week so I could be home all weekend to be close by in case Doug needs me.
