So my brother is back in hospital.. he has now got pneumonia too and a fungal infection ontop of his aml... got to be honest, I'm more concerned about him than mum. I'm trying to hold it together to help my dad but damn...it's a struggle! My dad is 70 next year and mum has had myloema for 2 yrs.. ( luckily we are having a quiet period with mum's MM but we know that won't last... got a lot on our plates, as well as lockdown!! I'm exhausted physically and mentally!!
Hi , sorry to read this bit at least for now your brother is in the right place to look after him. It does seem sometimes that things are out to get us.
Hope you manage to get a little bit of time to yourself, it can be hard when there is so much going on around us and I know I have struggled in the past.
<<hugs>>
Steve
Thanks Steve, i know trying to take some time for myself. I know my brother is in the right place atm, and we are grateful for every day. As he was diagnosed in August and told he may not make it to Christmas. So everyday is a blessing. we have to try and enjoy the fun and giggles, they're as important as the rest. Thankyou again
