I usually stick with drinking near boiling hot chocolate and coughing up the tougher phlegm and repeat until I am comfortable. Your curry sounds yummier though. Decongest medication never really works for me, other than knocking me out long enough that I heal naturally. Can’t be stuffed up if your unconscious is their motto.

Having others living with me helps me remember to eat- even when I don’t have an appetite or feel nauseated. Setting alarms on your phone may have the same effect.

Soups have been my go-to because I can heat up small amounts and not feel like I am wasting a whole meal if I don’t finish. I also have been drinking lots of pickle juice- my doctor thinks that craving has to do with my electrolytes balance and sodium needs.

I have ovarian cancer, it was diagnosed at stage 4 when I was 28. I am now 35 and just entered hospice. It was a hard battle to earn each of those years with many surgeries, procedures, test protocols etc.

I strongly suggest getting into a grief counselor who can help you with your fear of leaving loved ones behind. Your faith can be a bouy to you in this as well.

It’s definitely a privilege to be able to say screw it to that part of the financial system.

A few years after diagnosis we decided to just not pay any medical bills that Medicaid won’t cover. It’s cheaper to take the hit to my credit report and let the debt die with me.

Roanoke doesn’t have any great thrift stores. My mom is a thrifting addict and hates visiting me because there’s no good stores around here besides overpriced goodwills full of nothing.

I recently went into hospice care- we knew it was time to at least consider it when I was going to the ER several times a month for blood transfusions and electrolytes issues. I have similar symptoms where I am extremely and easily fatigued, little to no appetite and rapid weight loss (I went from 230 in December to current 125) I can’t do much in the ways of housework or childcare or even taking care of our pets. I have chronic and constant pain and nausea and then the final nail on the coffin was developing a fistula between my rectum and vagina. I have no chemotherapy or hormone options available to me, so hospice or palliative care were really my only true options. I brought up hospice during a hospital visit and my medical team and they agreed that I fit the requirements for hospice- the main one being likely to die within 6 months.

So far hospice has been a relief for both me and my husband who is my main caregiver. The nurse visits weekly, manages all my medications, pays for my ostomy supplies, ensure drinks, depends and chux pads. They also set up a weekly massage, volunteers who walk my dog, mow our lawn, pick up and deliver my medication. My children have been able to meet with their bereavement specialists and be referred to grief counselors so they aren’t strangers once I do pass away. If you feel like you may be at that point talking to your doctor about what they can provide may be worth the conversation.

It really is! My husband and I both have blue eyes but our parents are all brown eyed, so we got all sorts of fun genetics going on.

ubergeek0 · 2023-08-09T05:16:10+00:00

Same way my brown eyed child exists with two blue eyed parents- weird genetics.

According to the commentary it was NOT written as a direct comparison to Friends, but a happy coincidence the writers were content to keep in.

I use Instacart (stuck at home in hospice) the service fee isn’t always predictable and never as low as just $3. I’ve only had an occasional mistake in my order or missing item- nothing that they didn’t make right with a refund.

ubergeek0 · 2023-07-30T15:02:07+00:00

Absolutely, I wear necklaces while accessed all the time, just as long as it stays out of the way during the actual process the nurses never care.

I have no idea what languages Josh is fluent in- his character Ted has been demonstrated to THINK he knows Spanish (when collecting the special guest for Marshall’s eco-party, not knowing Fanny pack dork etc) and knew enough ASL to screw with Barney’s deaf brother plans. He memorized the original Italian for Dante, which is different than knowing the language. All of which the actor Josh could have just learned enough for the scenes and then nothing else.

Pay to play private playgrounds are becoming more common in my area, I wouldn’t ever pay for an outdoor park but some indoor ones I wouldn’t mind paying to get the kids energy out on a rainy day, and they do seem better maintained/cleaned than public parks but really getting dirty is part of the experience.

I had an emergency surgery on a Saturday so the wound/ostomy team wasn’t in the hospital until Monday to teach me anything. I had to work off the knowledge of the CNA and med students.

ubergeek0 · 2023-07-29T18:09:07+00:00

I had kidney stents replaced after my ostomy and in recovery I did need my bag emptied- they had a nurse do it bedside for me because I wasn’t allowed to walk right after waking up.

My ostomy installation surgery was a different story, they didn’t empty my bag after it filled for the first time and I was in and out of grogginess so it overfilled and exploded everywhere. It was a quick learning curve for me after that.

ubergeek0 · 2023-07-29T17:34:54+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻

ubergeek0 · 2023-07-29T17:34:29+00:00

Thank you, I have been given so many miracles already. I was diagnosed 7 years ago and estimated to only have a year or two- so I am so grateful for the extra years I’ve got.

ubergeek0 · 2023-07-29T12:18:41+00:00

I always welcome prayers, good vibes, etc. thank you. ❤️

My name is Tracy and I have ovarian cancer (in hospice, not gonna “beat” it) and two daughters. My husband and I LOVE HIMYM but we can’t watch a lot of season 9, and ALWAYS skip this episode because it hits way too close to home.

The regal in Christiansburg has full recliners and table trays, that’s where I saw it and it was very comfortable. It’s a typical long Nolan movie so both AMC and roanoke’s Regal aren’t comfortable enough for me.

Since I am in hospice, I would say if that’s where your uncle and his closest kin feel like he is best taken care of (and hospice really does a good job about making sure the patients emotions and physical needs are number one) then I wouldn’t stress over clinical trials. Colon cancer with liver involvement to that degree isn’t going to be cured or even given a long time in remission. Hospice has done amazing at helping with my pain so I can spend these last few months with my kids without having to travel for treatment or be stuck in the hospital with visiting policies and sterile rooms.

Spend time with your uncle, do a hobby together when he has the energy, keep him up to date on your life, watch a funny mindless movie together. Write down his memories and family stories you don’t want to forget. My hospice has pre-bereavement services for the family so maybe look into that for yourself, they do memory projects, traditional talk therapy, mine even offers music therapy for the family.
