just venting- so overwhelmed right now

 So life is throwing quite a lot at me this season:

1. Pap was hospitalized for 12 days (03Mar-15Mar): he was diagnosed with Pneumonia and congestive heart failure (CHF).  He came out of the hospital on 2 liters of oxygen and weaker then he was last year when he came home.  He can not stand up, which means toileting is a nightmare for Mam and me. He cannot get in and out of a car (getting him in the car at the hospital was an adventure), so he is house bound.  We are in the decline.  it is a matter of time before he is bed bound - his cancer has metastasized to his lungs.

2. Aidan hurt his leg in gym class (physical education)- he tried rest, elevation, and ice for the last 2.5 weeks per the doctor and nothing has changed, so he will have an MRI next week and most likely will have surgery within a few weeks

3. Mam's  Alzheimer's continues to progress.  She can not  follow simple requests, so having her help is hard.  This leads to Pap screaming at her (just being brutally honest).


it is just becoming too much.  I dont know how I am going to get through these next few months.  everyone needs me and I am giving everything and there is nothing left for me- I have no time to recharge.
