I have found myself getting out of sorts over the past few days. I am not sure if I am anticpating that treatment is over soon or if I am just wore out. I can't put a finger on it. My husband has been extremely irritiable as well. I know that he has a lot of pain and is try to deal with. He has to use his peg tube now because he can't swallow food. He is still swallowing water and encouraging him to do his mouth exercies.
Sometimes i just feel really upset mad not sure what about but just not the way I usually act. I don't want to be that way. I want to be as supportive as possible. I feel that I do more damage when I am out of sorts.
Do any others on here get that way?
My mom is here with us and that does help, she helps with my laundry and dishes and cooking for her and me.
I take Rex daily to radiation and then go to back to work and work my 8 hours. Our drive is 45 minutes each way. Thursday we will be done with treatment and that may help.
I am scared when we no longer go to treament becauase I won't see the dr.s daily.
I think I am a little confused right now and I don't know what to expect next. I am scared and full of fear.
