End of Life Issues
Showing Original Post only (View all)Hi, I'm actually GliderGuider, who posted below [View all]
I ran afoul of the admins over a political issue (what else), so I had to start a new handle. Life goes on.
The update is that my beloved is in her end crisis. The cancer moved far faster than we were prepared for, and appears to have taken out a lot of her digestive system. 24 hours ago she was good enough to go see our family doctor, now she's too sick to take an ambulance to emergency. She can't hold down food or liquids, even water. She is is vomiting every ten minutes or so, and is throwing up what appear to be pieces of stomach tissue. Since she was still depending on oral pain meds, and doesn't have approval for injectables yet, that is a problem. Between bouts of vomiting I'm trying to keep enough oral hydromorphone in her to ease the discomfort. This is an extremely rapid and merciless crash.
I'm becoming a psychopomp whether I want to or not. Please ask the universe to ease her passage.
