Bonnie, Does her Ins. Co[if she has coverage] have a contingency for a Home Health Nurse to come in several times a week? Check on that. You could also try to set up some support from friends and other family to just be there so you can get out for a while. Also, use anyone who offers to help to grocery shop, run errands, do laundry, cook, etc. I can't remember if she is at home with you ? What else are you responsible for in your own life right now? I really had to prioritize when this started for us, and it took me several months to get a handle on things. Dealing with some of the [potential] side effects are scary for us "non-nursing" people, so get your phone #'s in place for Doctors and nurses. Most important things are :charting daily on paper- amounts of food, liquids, pain meds that she takes. Have a daily routine for recording temp and blood pressure, that kind of stuff. A note book will work. Take good notes on how she is feeling during the day/night so you can relay any changes to the appropriate people. Keep a written list of all meds so you know what they are. This is not difficult, but it does take time-thus back to priortizing and being smart about what you can handle and can't handle. Don't be afraid to ask for help! And remember, there are no dumb questions during this battle. Ask here and ask the Docs, nurses, etc. We will respond to you. Take Deep Breaths, Amy
