Dietitian

My Joan is still in hospital. X Rays showed no bowel blockage, so a dietitian has been planning meals which will supposedly beat the constipation. Good plan, but Joan still has not regained any of her appetite even though she is now about eight weeks out of chemotherapy. If anything, she is finding it more difficult to eat food she was capable of eating last week.

Whilst I was with her yesterday a nurse did a calorie count and surprisingly it added up to 850 for the day.

With all this happening we were also threatened with a legal writ demanding a payment of $18,000+ for vehicle damage in a car accident. Both parties were fully insured and that amount should have been paid out but wasn’t. I think (hope) it has been resolved and shall explain at length at a later date.
The stress of caring for and worrying about my Joan is getting to me and I am forgetting things. I ordered a rare book about PNG through the state library but haven’t had the time to sit down and read it. It has to be returned tomorrow. I need to make check lists before I leave the house. A couple of days ago I somehow lost Joan’s wallet with all her cards and personal details. Yesterday was card cancelling day.

I want Joan back home but also want her to regain some strength so she is able to at least walk around with her walker.
