MDJunction to me

Dit"I've been a grateful member here for over 4 yrs this place has changed my life of course for the better, coming to the groups has enabled me to no longer feel so alone. As a group leader for the Bipolar Support group I can relate to others and am expressing my experience strength and hope and this is very rewarding, I've also made many supportive friends here whom I talk to some daily. I used to have a lot of 'lows' since becoming member here at MdJunction I no longer have these lows." (Dit)

My Hunny Bunny

This diary is my sanity as my husband has been in the hospital for approximately 25 days and was just diagnosed with cirrhosis. We have been through hell and back and I do mean we as the caregiver is just exhausted as the patient. Any way....today is the day he should go home. Truthfully, he probably is not strong enough to be home, but I do not think he'll get much better until he is at home. He has signed his advanced directive and DNR as he does NOT want to ever come back to a hospital. With God's grace, he'll have a reasonable quality of life.


HE round two

Jun 06 2012
It sneaks right back in the door, before you realize it.  Same schedule, same lactulose and xifaxin, same bowel movements, and you change up pain meds....It's Back!  HE starts with a bitof groggy voice, followed by lack of appetite.  Then he wakes up without a depend and feces everywhere!  Sleeps 12 hours, during the day, and I imagine, will be up all night again tonight.  Problem is worse as Jim has yet another doctor's appointment tomorrow.  Dr. Lawson is not happy with the heavy duty pain medicine.  Of course, Jim thinks even with all the drugs, he cannot stand the pain.  He needs therapy and to get back on his feet.  According to Lawson, the best thing for him is exercise and to build muscle mass.  He wants Jim walking with a cane or walker.  I cannot even get him to stand.  Appointment with the nurse practioner tomorrow.  What can she do?  Meds work?  Meds too strong?  I am getting so frustrated.  Need to pray as there is nothing else I can do.  Praying for myself, too...that I can sleep a bit this night!
