Went out for dinner at a family restaurant type joint with my dad. He's in such an awful place. Things were so horrible when he got put into and while he was in hospice (not because of hospice, because he was that sick and in that much pain and disability and blech). He just doesn't want to go through all of that again.
He feels so badly he was even saying that the problem with mood elevators is that they all make him sleepy. Which is his way of saying he feels really badly, and he would do something if it made him feel better. Which is a lot, because he doesn't like taking drugs. I told him it might still be worth asking his doctor if he had any suggestions for someone for him to talk to, which didn't require any drugs, but the one thing he didn't really have good luck with before was the people who do the counseling for the hospice and cancer patients. So I don't know if they could help him find somebody.
Eru, he's so sad.

Would he be open to a music therapist? I had very good luck reducing pain when I worked with hospice and cancer patients.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question. It's not the same thing, but he feels better when he plays the piano, he just can't play for very long any more. Maybe if it wouldn't stress you out I could call sometime in a week or two and ask you more about it?
ReplyDeleteWell he sounds like a perfect candidate. I would love for you to call any time starting after Wednesday, that should be enough time for me to recover ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
ReplyDeleteWhere exactly are you guys located? I want to see if there are any MT's in your area. Don't want to go too far down the rabbit hole if there aren't resources :-/
ReplyDeleteIs it ok if we wait until we chat? Besides, I do not want to suck up your limited and valuable energy right now, either :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I'd just be FB messaging people on my Facebook in the middle of the night while I tried to stay awake breastfeeding, but I am totally okay with waiting, I still get to breastfeed later ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd by exact, I'd just need a city/state.
