Hi CALS and PALS its been a While since I've been on the forum and alot has happened. Its been a lil over a year since my husband's Dx and the stress of caring for him has been enormous. I wont even begin to about the Finacial stress we have endured. And medicare OMGOODNESS absolutely horrible!!! Don't pay for nothing worth nothing.
So we're at the placement of a nursing home portion of ALS. I can not physically emotionally or mentally care for him anymore. So he has been in hospice awaiting placement but were waiting on the state to give him Medicaid and they have up to 30 days to decide smh.
My PALS moans and growns all the time, he is cold all the time with chills. I called the doc about the chills cuz they happen all the time. He has bladder spasms so bad he uses it pass the foley smh meds are not helping so guess this is something we have to deal with.
He is so miserable he looks like he is in agony all the time smh its like he has to live like this for how long!!!! Lord which is worse living or dying!!! I must admit i have wished the lord would take him then i repent for saying that. But it hurts so bad to watch him this way lord have mercy!!!
I am unbelievably tired exhausted that i fell asleep sitting with him yesterday smh. I wish this placement thing come thru quickly maybe it will be a lil better cuz the staff in hospice are not really equipt to care for him in his condition.
Well thanks for reading my rant its been awhile.
