My sister's condition -
March 8th 2021, 02:23 PM
Julie, one of my older twin sisters will be discharged from hospital in a few days after her medical team have fully diagnosed her condition. I visited her today and was pleased to see her happier than last night when she was feeling poorly.
The doctors have switched her meds, having decided what seems to be the best course of action. But they asked if I would consider being Julie's care giver. Of course I will, I said. Being her helper would take pressure off her other twin and anyway, I used to be care giver to my mum before her health went south. So I know what will be asked of me.
Weekdays I'm usually in bed by 8pm, 9pm latest and next morning up early at 6am,. giving me a sound 10 hours sleep. Weekends I go to bed a bit later, all depending whether we've a good movie to watch, usually a Disney. I can't stand violent movies. OK for some, but not for me.
Julie is pleased I'm going to be her care giver. Once she's due to be discharged I'll be at the hospital to learn when to give Julie's medicines. Of course, her older twin will oversee all that, really to keep check on me.
I looked after our mum when she was home in Lucerne. So I am quite used to any 'mum difficulties', so Julie should be no different.
At some time, her doctors are not sure when, Julie may need a heart operation. Presently that is undecided. But I'm very relieved and happy seeing Julie's medical condition is vastly improved.
Any changes in the future, and I'll be back here to share what I can.
Now it's back to my online school work, so I'll be back much later.
