Hi Chris,

Morphine and brain mets do make for some really awful attitude problems. I'm sorry you are going through it. My heart is with you and Matt. You are such a loving caregiver. Matt is lucky to have you. I hope you are able to find some time to concentrate on something just for you.

I remember reading posts and steeling myself for the battle from hell. There are great gifts here. There is the immediate gift of loving family on the OCF forum who will help us through the process no matter the twists and turns. And, there's the legacy that remains from all the caregivers who have walked the path ahead of us. One of your hands receives the gift and one of your hand gives the gift. Thank you for helping me when I truly needed a sister, a confidant, a friend, and an OC tour guide.

I hope Matt agrees to allow hospice to come in and help. It really is a godsend. It does not mean that anyone is giving up on him. It just means that there is a need that should be filled. I'm sure it would help relieve a great deal of stress for you and for him.

Take care, dear girl.

Sending a hug your way.

Love,

Sandy
