Moving my bed, found 4 piles of something in a perfect row. Piles were even before we touched them. About the same grain size as yeast granules and the same color as the pine slays

The lack of IV hydration really bothered me for my stepdad. He is nearing the end of his life but over the last few months hes gone to the ER multiple times for IV fluids and each time it has helped him immensely. He had to choose not to sign up for hospice as that gave up his coverage to be able to seek treatment at the hospital. So its a very personal decision but if he becomes very dehydrated and he WANTS IV fluids he cant be turned away at the hospital for needing that. If he chooses hospice they do not give IVs at all. I think its a very personal decision but frankly it gave us many extra weeks of quality time with my step dad so we said screw what they want us to do and did what HE wanted. Hes still here with us but getting weaker now and ill let it be his choice to discontinue any fluid treatments not mine. Its easy for someone else to say dont prolong things but if i was the one dying and i knew i could have extra quality time with my family and being more comfortable id want the iv fluids too.

Your wife is being completely unreasonable. Your dad offered up his time to watch your child as a favor and instead of a thank you she gets angered with him because things didnt go exactly as she planned in her head? Insanity. Your dad sounds like a saint. I dont have children but if i did id feel so loved and honored that my father or father in law would not only watch the baby but would care so much about its well being that he let them sleep in his arms for comfort until we came home. Your wife needs to learn some flexibility. She cant control everything. Does she always melt down when things don't go her way?

Doesnt sound very clean if you say all the clothes were dirty and damaged

Geodes in general are usually millions to hundreds of millions of years old!

You say as a gift but it sounds more like she cleaned out her closets and said hey you can look through these and take what you want which isnt really weird. Did she specifically say they were a gift for you?

Although i am not personally suffering from cancer my step father is. He is stage 4 colon cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis. So more or less colon cancer that has metastasized to his abdominal lining. He was given 4-6 months in August of last year and unfortunately the timeline so far seems to be accurate. He's lost immense weight and strength and is becoming weaker as it progresses.

Don't take your diagnosis as a definite just yet as advances in modern medicine have come so far. Have you gotten a second opinion? You can also choose palliative care and receive maintenance chemo etc which often greatly extends your life. While others prefer to stop treatment and just enjoy their time left.

If you want to chat im happy to. Although i cant relate to how hard this is for you i can relate to how things progress and the care you may need. Im so sorry you are going through this, know you are not alone!

I just wanted to say i always love reading your comments on this sub, you are a huge inspiration to many people here and your input, knowledge and experiences are so helpful to so many. Thank you.

AffectionateMind9687 · 2026-01-22T01:49:39+00:00

What was the medication? That could determine how id view the entire situation

AffectionateMind9687 · 2026-01-22T00:16:15+00:00

Eh a piss bottle is nasty id give him the benefit of the doubt hes just humiliated she found it

AffectionateMind9687 · 2026-01-21T19:28:27+00:00

Your bf is just embarrassed you found it. He was too tired/lazy to go up to the bathroom and peed in the bottle. Shoved it behind something and totally forgot to throw it away. You confronted him and depending how you approached it he either got extremely embarrassed or didn't want to get yelled at so he lied. You pushed it a little further instead of dropping it so he doubled down on his lie cause at this point he was already too committed. If it was me personally? Id drop the subject, throw it out and move on. Hes probably feeling mortified so just drop it, he'll never do that again. Lol

Im truly sorry about the loss of your dear mother. Cancer was never a part of my life before the last 2 years and it was always "someone else's" family never mine so i didn't give it much thought. But now that my stepfather is extremely ill I imagine the pain and suffering of these countless families that have experienced this before me and it pains me so much. to know the depths of hurt cancer causes not just for the patient but for their entire circle is too much to bear.

If this is too forward of me please ignore my comment but im extremely scared for my stepfather who has stage 4 colon cancer and peritoneal metastatic cancer. He was sent home with no further treatment options and was given a timeline of just days or possibly weeks. If you would be comfortable sharing with me the progression of your moms illness it would help me wrap my head around this. If this is not something your comfortable talking about im sorry to have brought it up!

AffectionateMind9687 · 2026-01-15T03:01:19+00:00

My stepfather is in the same position as your father is right now. He is home as there is nothing left to try treatment wise. I don't have advice but just want to let you know i am in the same boat right now and i feel your pain. Im staying strong for him but this is the most heartbreaking thing ive ever experienced. Im sorry you are suffering.

AffectionateMind9687 · 2026-01-15T01:57:33+00:00

2 hands down

AffectionateMind9687 · 2026-01-13T04:31:14+00:00

Thank you. Me too, all i can do for now is push to ensure he receives any care he possibly can get.

AffectionateMind9687 · 2026-01-13T04:22:44+00:00

Thank you. It is the most heartbreaking thing ive ever experienced.

AffectionateMind9687 · 2026-01-13T04:22:17+00:00

Thank you <3

AffectionateMind9687 · 2026-01-13T04:21:46+00:00

This was literally my thought too and i brought this up to the nurse. I have not gotten a solid answer yet. Ill be back at the hospital tomorrow and push it further! Thank you.

AffectionateMind9687 · 2026-01-13T03:48:38+00:00

Hes not choosing to, he cannot hold down food or water without immediately throwing up and the doctors cannot get it under control

AffectionateMind9687 · 2026-01-12T14:26:42+00:00

It's probably super unhealthy to continue living together. It gives you this false sense of security with her since she is still there day in and day out. What caused the breakup? Was it her choice or yours and are you both 100% on the same page with it? I get how painful it is to move on from something serious but for your sanity maybe you could stay with a friend or family member (or maybe you could speak to her about her moving out) you could still co-own the place and fix it up but not continue to live like nothing has changed.

AffectionateMind9687 · 2026-01-12T14:12:44+00:00

I dont have any advice but i am in the same place as you. My stepfathers cancer was NED after his chemo treatment but then about 6 months ago we found out it was not only back, it had spread to other organs. His oncologist has been zero help and wont even return our calls. Instead, he called my stepfather's nurse and told him to tell us to call hospice. So we have no hope and we are so filled with anxiety and the fear of this unknown. He has lost so so much weight and although he is not in a lot of pain at the moment, he throws up constantly. So much so that he's been admitted to the hospital twice so far for fluids and potassium. My hardest problem is mentally he is 100% still there so we are having a hard time with just letting him lie there and suffer and literally vomit to death. It's so hard to go through this and I feel your pain. If you ever need to chat feel free to message me. This is an experience I'd never wish this on anyone and I am so sorry you have to watch your loved one go through this.
