Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Well, gang, we are still having poopy problems here. 7 wks. on Tuesday!! It has lessened, but everytime Glenn eats he has diarrhea several hours later and during the night as well. We are just about at the end of yet another rx...one more day. When he talked with the GI Spec. yesterday, he requested a Liver Profile (b/c of the yellowish tinge to Glenn's skin) and another stool sample. I stayed home from work to get him to the hosp. and of course, he couldn't go then, but got the blood tests done. We had until 5 p.m. to get the stool sample back to the hosp. and he didn't go potty until 4:35 p.m. and I rushed the sample to the hospital arriving at 4:58 p.m. Glenn called and told them not to leave early...LOL I couldn't take another day off work tomorrow. They will fax results to the Dr....so we join y'all in the " waiting game " once more. I just finished sorta reaming him out...well, REALLY reaming him out... telling him he very much needs to sit up and take notice.... God is NOT ready for him yet or he'd be GONE!!! So he better take a little more active participation in his own daily well-being and possible recovery.... I can't do it for him and unless he wants to just lie there and wait....he better start taking better care of himself (at that particular moment, I had just asked him to check his blood sugar...it was 582!!!!! Damn, I was mad!!!) The Cancer and any infections is one thing and not his fault...but darn it, he can at least take care of the things he can control!!!! No wonder his body won't heal!!!! What makes some men so darned hard to deal with when they are sick?? I'm really get tired of talking about poop...LOL Bet y'all are tired of hearing about it, too!!! And, you can bet Glenn is tired of doing it!!! Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle Caregiver to Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must feel so worn down and then he won't help himself either. A friend's Mom did this with her lung cancer. Her's was not too bad when she was diagnosed but she decided she was going to die anyway so she kept right on smoking in fact not only did she refuse to stop she smoked more!!!! I think you have done all you can and now it is up to others and Glenn himself to convince him that he CAN get better if he would just TRY. How about all those people who came to his party? Can any of them get through to him? I hope you can feel this cyber hug <<<<<<<<<<<<<< DONELLE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Narice Thanks Narice.... y'know you just gave me an idea...I'm calling or emailing a couple of his high school buddies that were at the party and have been here a couple times just to visit in the last few months....one's in IL and one's in VA. Good Noggin' on those shoulders, Narice... Donelle Caregiver to Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
