Bless you heart , I feel for you because I also have to deal with my MIL

who is 84.  She totally refues to accept that Terry is dying.  When he is having

a really bad day, she thinks he'll be fine if he'll just eat something and go to

bed to sleep at night!  I feel for her because I can't even imagine how horrible

it is for her.  Terry is her only child and she has buried two husbands and both

of her parents and her only brother already in her life.  I'm sure she is in

denial because she just can't help herself.  Therefore, I basically have to just

shielf Terry from her when he's really sick.  I feel so bad doing it, but he

just can't take her whining at him about food when he's so sick at his stomach. 

This disease just is horrible in every way, to everybody it touches!

I didn't mean to get off on that!  I'm sorry!  Enjoy your trip!  I'll be

counting the days witih you!

Hugs........ ..

Thanks .  I haven't made an appointment yet.  I plan to do that today. 

Well, actually, I plan to call the doctor's office and ask his advice on whether

I should make an appointment or just take him into the ER.  If I got the

appointment route, I'm thinking we will have to go in to see the doctor, then

schedule the procedure.  If I go straight to the ER, they will most likely admit

him and then perform the procedure.  I would be a little more comfortable with

that because he has also had some fairly serious bleeding from hemorids as

well.  I would really like to that have all of that assessed, as well as some

issues with a recurring low grade temp.  Anyway, I'll let you know what the

doctor says.  Thanks for your concern.

Hugs..........

Diane

Thanks, Diane. I would be very upset also. My own mother thinks I have a sore

throat, or a simple stomach ache, and every now and then she says " But you get

better in no time " . " you look so good " . " You aren't that sick, are you ? " .

and my favorite- " I think you are going to be just fine " .

AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sometimes that feels good. Thanks for listening. Love, Bobby

long life, old age, everything good-Apache prayer

Yea, everyone keeps telling me I'm being ugly to her because I keep trying to

get her to understand that Terry is dying, that he won't get better, only worse.

But, I keep telling them that I will not sit by and watch him die and have her

thinking everything is hunky-dory right up until the moment he passes. What's

harder, to accept his death a little a at a time, or have it come as a big

shock? I am not one for keeping secrets. I think it is always best to be open

and honest.

I will be praying for your cousin and her husband.

I'm really sorry that your MIL is haed in the sand about Terry. I often wonder ,

do people who do this just think we live in these b odies forever? I never

really knew just how short life is untill Ardis told me she was dying. Now, I

totally believed her, and even making the most out of all of our time together,

it still flew by. Your MIL is living a hard life, because denial is a road to

difficult days. My cousins' husband is in ICU at a Denver hospital tonight,

having ignored a pain in his leg for months, and a bad tooth for over a year. He

was in denial. He buried his head in the sand, and refused to face what he had

to face. Now he is intubated, stapled from chin to below his belly button. He

had developed severe infection mainly in his pericardium, but other places in

his body, and pieces of his infected heart broke off, and lodged in his leg,

they had to go in there too. He had to have heart valve replacements- He has a

very very poor prognisis,

less than 30 percent. Denial is a bitch.

My father's youngest brother died in his 50s of heart problems he had had

since childhood. It was still very hard for my grandmother to accept that

she had outlived him. And, my nephew died of heart problems at age 29. It

was hard for all of us to accept it. His wife had died at age 21 in a car

accident with another 21 year old at 12 noon. No drinking or drugs

involved, just a truck full of propane tanks which shifted and caused the

truck to plow into her. It just doesn't make sense for people who are

younger than you are to be dying.

My mother tells me not to talk so much about my medical problems. At least

now she does acknowledge that I do have them. Talking about my problems has

enabled me to help a lot of other people who find themselves sick in their

70s, 80s and 90s, ( I live in a town where the average age is 67, compared

to most towns where the age is in the 30s) when they haven't really ever

been sick a day in their lives. They know I have experienced a lot of the

things they are wondering about and come to ask me. They want to know what

a colonoscopy is like, does it hurt, etc, how about an endoscopy, what are

the symptoms of a heart attack. Many of their questions I can't fully

answer, but I can assure them they will get through all the tests their

doctors want them to have.

Yes, facing facts is easier in the long run. Jan H
