I am so tired, physically and mentally. And that's putting it mildly!!

Just when I think (that's what i get for doing my own thinking!!) things are going well and will slow down, WHAM! she does it again. First of all big sis was calling every other day wanting me to go out to her house, north of town, and get her one thing or another, and take it to the nursing home, south of town!! She's been running me ragged! I'm aging at an excelerated rate with all this!!

Then, Tues. when I was out there she said she had a couple of these water blisters on her feet and they had popped!! She had big socks on so I didn't try to look at them. Figured they'd take care of it. Then took her more stuff Thursday and she was getting a shower and when she came back to room I got to look at those feet!! It's not just feet, it's clear up to her knees and it's water seeping through her pores and causing these water blisters in the ankle and foot area. And she's swollen all over, hands, arms, feet, legs, stomach is like a huge bowl of jello!! She has put on 40 lbs. in 3 weeks!!!!

Well, needless to say, I didn't like the looks of it and talked to the doc out there. He'd upped her lasix to 80mg daily. But didn't seem to be working. So decided to call her cardiologist. He's the one who always seems to get her straighted out, if she'd just do what he says she might stay doing better! Anyway when I called and told him what was going on he wanted her in there Friday at noon. So here I go again. The only good thing is the nursing home transports her, there's no way I could have gotten her in my truck, she can't stand up! So I just met them there.

Well, he took one look at her and said you're going to the hospital and being admitted!! So the transport takes her there instead of back to the nursing home. Got her settled in there and got home about 4:30. Now, since insurance won't pay for two places, I have to go to the nursing home today and pack up all that stuff she's had me bringing her, and take a few things to her in the hospital. There goes my Saturday!!

Guess they're going to be running a bunch of tests. When she went to the hospital a few weeks ago, the squad took her to the hospital I hate. It's not the one she usually goes to and she didn't like it either. There's no records there and those docs didn't even send reports to her doc. The cardiologist had no idea what they had treated her for or what they had done for it. So it's like starting from scratch. he has to get the reports from them so he can know what's been going on!!

Anyway, enough of this. I'm going to quit thinking things are looking up and just start wondering what's next!!!
