Donelle, When a person does not feel good they get depressed also.

And then to add on top of that the length of not feeling good it is

not a wonder Glenn feels so down mentally. Hopefully with this

improvement he will start to perk up some. Yes, Glenn getting out

some would be a mood enhancer.

What I am so worried about is for YOU!!!! This has got to be

wearing you down. Do you get any help from others with the daily

chores??

Donelle, You have got to do something good for yourself. I just

know you must be feeling so down.

I am PRAYING and HOPING that now we see some uphill for the both of

you.

Please take some time for you. It is so very IMPORTANT!!!!

Love YOU, Ingrid

Thanks Ingrid...

I just get so frustrated with my patient...LOL He does not take care of

himself... it's almost like he does not want to get well, has no hopes of

getting any better and would just rather die....

I did get him out for a couple hours today....he even drove his big ole

diesel truck!! We went to Denny's for a late lunch... he ate a BLT and Fried

Onion Rings...

We then went to the store and you should see all the stuff he bought that is

not good for him (considering what he's been through, going through and the

fact that he's diabetic!! I really think he's trying to get it over with!!

He bought Chocolate milk, fresh fruit (which normally would be a good thing),

stuffed clams, Hot Pockets, chocolate candy bars (for Trick or Treaters...of

which we have none... we live in a locked front door condo!!!), cashew

PoppyCock, muffins and grapes. He ate some fruit and choc. milk when we got

home

..... and guess what?? He has diarrhea tonite!!! Grrrr........... He won't

give his colon time to heal before he starts plopping all this bad stuff into

it. I even get diarrhea from FRIED ONION RINGS!!!

Ingrid, I have NO help whatsoever, physically or emotionally, and appreciate

this group more than you'll ever know.

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle

Caregiver to Glenn
