Still taking care of my folks. My dad doesn’t want to eat because stomach cancer changes your taste buds. My BP is 140/98. I’m definitely feeling a bit stressed. All the Eagle’s symptoms are full bore. Hoping to go home tomorrow but I feel super guilty about it. ---

Have a safe journey home, have you got someone to take care of your Mum? Don’t feel guilty; you need to take care of yourself too, no good you having a dizzy spell & having a fall 🤗 Praying for you 🙏 🙏 ---

Thank you. My dad’s youngest brother is arriving tonight. At some point my sister will (hopefully) come down. ---

Really glad to know you have another family member who is willing to spell you. Totally agree w/ Jules that it’s your turn to take care of yourself. I’m glad you’ll be able to do that soon. Do you have someone to help you after surgery? ---

I’m home now. Whew. Picked my dog up from boarding and he is doing quite well. I’m exhausted. Hoping to sleep for a few days. My best friend from college is flying up for my surgery- not only is she awesome, but she’s also an ER RN so one always feels safe around her. 🙂 ---

That’s awesome you’ll have someone with medical experience to help you! It’s getting closer and I’m just so excited for you! Time for a new chapter to begin! 😊 ---

Great news that you’re home & especially that your dog is doing better. You must be very relieved. Enjoy your hard earned rest, & I’m so glad you have some time to take care of yourself. 💝
