[quote=Anonymous]Op here — it is like walking through molasses. And I have an out of state childless relative and a parent who are counting in addition to DH and a struggling teen. Elderly Relative is in hospital, parent also out of state received cancer diagnosis — I’m spent. I’m not in good shape myself and tell NO ONE except DH. It won’t change anything about me not doing enough.

Anyway, regarding DH — he has been prescribed more antibiotics for ongoing UTIs. He is willing to go to a urologist but only if I handle everything. Meanwhile I’m dealing with hospital calls for relative, other relatives that are giving me grief re: my parent with whom I’ve tried many times to assist to improve the situation and avoid what has unfolded there. Why can’t adults frickin’ do what needs to be done???? Elderly relative who is cognitively sound (even by docs) is in hospital bc he stopped taking meds due to issues with side effects (frequent urination). The only reason DH is conceding to see the doc is bc he is VERY uncomfortable.

TL;DR No significant news.  [/quote]
