Staying up 36 hours in a hospital trying to keep a confused person from getting out of bed/removing IV lines/taking off her gown/ and lots of things I can't remember, has caused my Average for the week to be 157.

I am so tired I cannot see straight
but we are home
Go to bed. Go to sleep. You need a little time for YOU after all that! Take care! --
But since you can't see staight, I'm not sure we can trust your scale readings (G)
Besides, I have a feeling that my clothing weighs at least .6 pounds.
Congrats in any event. But unless something dramatic happens, I will probably be up again this next week but under goal.

Woohoo Lesanne!! I'm glad you are home and I'm glad you lost weight but I'm not glad about how you had to do it.

Hearing that you're back home is really the best news.
After an ordeal like that, I don't know how you could remember to weigh and post. From the sound of things, it might be best that those things you can't remember stay unremembered.

I sure don't envy you by any means. I remember sitting in the ER with my mom, then waiting for her to be transferred to the psych hospital. Not 36 hours in the hospital, but it ended up being a 36 hour stretch with no sleep ... definitely is not fun. I remember thinking I was no longer sure if it was my mom who was delusional ... or me! <grin>
Congrats on the fantastic weekly average though, although I'm not sure I would enthusiastically support it as a method of weightloss. <g> I hope you can soon catch up on that lost sleep, if it's even possible. Take care of yourself, and hopefully relax a bit!

Ouch Lesanne, I really do feel for you. I can only imagine how hard this must be, to deal with on a daily basis. Also how heartbreaking for you. I've learned my mom has been having some frequent *accidents*, only because I do her laundry. If I didn't bring her clothing home, I would have no clue at all. Are you hanging in there? I know you probably don't even want to think about things, but is it becoming close to looking at other options for care - or are you able to get some help? I can't fathom how you can tackle this all on your own. You definitely are slated for sainthood.

Great! I hope you are able to find some quickly to give you a bit of a break. 'Round the clock by yourself is not a fun thing.
