Saturday and Sunday have merged and I don’t know what day or
time it is most of the time. I’ve been on a pillow since 10PM Friday night,
moving from place to place, wherever there is a good place to take a nap. I
feel this pressure just pushing me down and to the sides. Even sitting I have a
falling sensation that I fight. So instead I lay. I have slept for two days
now. Three naps a day and 9 hours of sleep. Thankfully my stomach alarms when
it has been a while, though not all food is appealing already. Seemed mighty
fast.
The seizure thing still has an ugly hold on me. We decided
we would try to sit at church (lucky I didn’t) but the car gave me so much
anxiety I had Skip turn around. I couldn’t do it and we went home. I fell right
asleep and he stepped up the daddy-mommy duties for the day. I was awful proud
when I saw him baggy lunches for the week and he told me, “I’m learning from
you! This makes it so much easier.” Hehe. I know.
People keep asking how I am. That’s a tough question. I have
PTSD from a seizure. I have the aftermath and sore muscles from a seizure on
top of a very high dose chemo, and
probably a few dances from Friday night’s party. I am more dizzy/unbalanced
than ever, my head mildly hurts, my vision is messing with me and I looked up “leptomeningeal
last days.” Can I tell you what a pity party I had. Stupidest thing to google
but so many husbands posting about their wives and the sad deterioration that
occurs.
I may add induced coma to my advanced directives because
none of that looked tolerable for me. And if it’s anything like what happened
Thursday, I can’t.
Anyway I am going to say prayers with my peanut and go to
bed. I can barely write this as it is, but I just wanted to update. The ups and
the downs and this is definitely a 48 hours of down. Hard falling down down
down… Trying hard to do what I can, pray when I can, eat and drink as I can, and respond as I can.
Love you all and know I love to talk, so night night. Talk tomorrow.
God be with us.................... We need you. We all need you...
