Besides my diabetes being out of control most days, even though I eat right 85% of the time. I have been dealing with family loss and sickness.
If you're a regular reader you know about the sickness and terminal illness we've dealt with since Spring.
My Mother-In-Law D has less than 20% lung function and has probable Lung Cancer. Because of her inability to be put safely under anesthesia they can't biopsy the tumor. And there's a chance it can metastasis if they opened her up. So removal of the tumor isn't an option nor is chemotherapy. The tumor is growing. We know this from New xrays. The Dr basically told her to enjoy the time she has left.
A couple weeks ago they found a blockage in her heart. Again anesthesia isn't an option. Yesterday the Dr sedated her to put stints in and the aneurysm on her heart prevented anything from being done. She's had the aneurysm for years so this isn't anything new or something we didn't know about. Just Another obstacle. The Dr pretty much said nothing can be done. He did prescribe an extended relief medication similar to nitroglycerin. It's just a matter of time. She's yet to get a terminal diagnosis but things are looking bleak.
In other news my Aunt P died on 7/23, 30 years and 5 days since my mom died. Four months and 6 days since their brother passed away. Our second family loss on moms side in a few months. I'm sure my mom , grandparents& 5 siblings are catching up. Funeral arrangements have not been announced yet :-/.
Now for some happier news. My brother's health is improving just in time for the birth of his 7th grandchild. Levi can arrive safely without complications. My nieces csection is scheduled for 8/7. And even better news
My uncle is being discharged from the Nursing Home today after 3 weeks in the hospital and 20 days at the home.
That's my life in a nutshell.
