I'll respond to my private messages and the comments on the other threads when I can; it will take me a while.
I was at the ER very early Tues. morning, then inpatient Tues afternoon until this morning (Friday). I got lots of fluids for my chronic dehydration, and a new med to try for my intractable nausea. It worked well via IV, now to see how it works orally.
My mental state isn't any different. I cry umpteen times a day. I still don't have counseling set up (hard to do that when you're in the hospital). I'm on a new anti-depressant, totally off the previous one. Anti-depressants typically take a couple of weeks to work.
I left a phone message for my mother before I went to the ER the last time. It was a very angry message, and I believe it was deserved. I told her that she had a second daughter who was very ill, and maybe she'd like to know. I haven't heard a word from her. This is effing me up something dreadful.
I know some of the reasons for my difficulty with eating and drinking. Most of it truly is physical, but there's an emotional element too. I'm going to have to work on that somehow.
Hubby was great and stayed with me the whole time other than a few hours, when my older daughter came to be with me.
I'm glad to be home, but I'm lonely and very anxious.
Anyway, I'm still alive (some of you might have wondered about that). I'll post more when I'm able.

I'm glad you went in. Hopefully some good will come from this. Please continue to get help on the emotional element as well.
I'm sorry about your issues with your mother. You've done what you can for now so, please, let it go so that you can focus on yourself and getting better. Stop letting others and their issues pile onto yours.
You are stronger than you think and worthy of peace, love, and happiness.

I told her that she had a second daughter who was very ill, and maybe she'd like to know. I haven't heard a word from her. This is effing me up something dreadful. Yep. That will totally screw with your head. That's an entirely different and horrible emotional pain in addition to what you've already been through. It's not a small thing. It deserves attention too, so when you do get a chance to talk to someone, put it on your list of things that you will talk about. Don't wait for them to ask you. Don't allow them to distract you from what you need to talk about. When you've got a lot of different things you need to talk about, it can be really hard for the other person to know how to approach it or miss something important. Make a list and insist on being heard. You've done a lot already by telling us. I hope that relieves some of that horrible pressure just one tiny bit. {{{hugs}}} |

i"m thinking of you...to answer your question from a previous thread...my dh and I live in san francisco, but grew up in seattle.. dh's parents built a home on whidbey when they retired..so the kids are used to riding the ferry to go to grandma's house...they always had fun on whidbey running around the woods...building forts, snow forts, playing with their dog and watching grandma create quilts. I have good friends on bainbridge (ever read Onions in the Stew by Betty McDonald? very funny about living there in the 1950's), and I spent one summer on Vashon at campfire camp as a counselor. my dh worked on orcas. summers . so lots of ferry stories in the family.
I hope you get the counseling you need and the docs can help more

I hope you feel better soon with your new meds. Sorry your mother isn't there for you, but it sounds like your husband and daughter are all you need in a wonderful, supportive family.
Take care...
