well, I was going to write about how I am now trying to get my brother's cataract surgery done through the nursing home eye doctor rather than our previous doctor so that Medicaid can help pay for the surgery, and the follow up can be a lot easier.
But on Friday, I found out that I have endimetrial cancer. What a surprise. This blog is not about me, so I'm not going into the details, but I am quite concerned about not being 100% for him this summer. Hopefully, I will just have to have a hysterectomy and no other treatment, but I expect to be at least off my feet for several weeks. Now I am thinking about how I have to write down everything about the financial details, lawyers, etc., just in case. I am feeling really bad about placing this burden on my husband, we have had enough of our share over the last 7 years. I am also worried about my daughter's mental health, she has spent her teen age years watching me caretake my brother, and my mother and father, who passed away.
I am pretty sure that stress has played a role in this. It is a tremendous burden to be responsible for so many people for so long. I am in the process of deciding to change my lifestyle. Placing my brother in a nursing home was one decision. Deciding about what to do about my job is the next.
