ravena_kadeYesterday was a day that nothing went they way I wanted. The phone started making noises at 6 AM... grrrr...
My cousin brought ver my 93 year old aunt to see Dad. I thought it would be just a quick visit, but they stayed 3 hours.
Then I spent maybe 3 hours trying to get appointments for Dad and trying to get the med that I cant get ahold of. The hospital out patient pharmacy has it but they are waiting for an approval from his insurance... and I tell them that he does not have prescription with his insurance but they don't seem to understand that I am willing to pay the $700 just to have his heart med so he wont die on me. It is so frustrating and I have anxiety of=ver not getting the pills in time.
I am having trouble with the idea that I have no one to help me with things that I cant lift alone. The cousins are all fragile and they pay people to lift and move things. Even the contractor cousin doesn't lift...he has his worker do that. Dad isn't able to lift anything bigger than a half gallon of milk until almost Christmas. I have got to move furniture in teh cellar to make room for the new oil tank installation... That I am waiting to hear back on for a date... and it will cost $4000.00 Sigh.
The cousins asked if I needed anything so I asked if they could pick up a case of bottled water as Dad does not drink tap water (oi). They brought it and stayed 2 hours. Oi. I have things to do... go away.
Dad is now getting into the depressed part of recovery. He is bored and is just sitting. He has no hobbies so all he knows is work...and this is just week 1 of being home. Maybe 9 more weeks. I am sympathetic, but I am tired as well as I am the only one who can do anything and I don't like being stuck in the house. I hope the doctors this will give the okay that he can spend some time alone. I need to get out... next week I have a craft show so he can come with me.

Date: 2022-11-13 02:10 pm (UTC)I currently have some mondays and tuedays open I might be able to come down and help move furniture to help you out. You have my email?
Although you mentioned people coming over and overstaying for several hours...Well...If they're gonna come and sit around for a while, make them do work. Oh, you want to visit Dad and you talk about wanting to help out? WELP! Here's a way to help out, help you move stuff.
I hope you can get the insurance/meds thing done ASAP. I can't imagine the stress and anxiety. I wish people in the health industry had any inkling of how destructive their behavior and red tape actually is.
I do hope you can get to the craft show, even if dad is in tow. Yeah you need something to de-compress a bit.
