Last Saturday and Sunday was so stressful. So emotionlly and physically tiring. I work as a Home Care Provider. I have worked for the same woman for the past 3 years. She is so sweet and caring. I feel of her more as a friend then someone I work for. She had taken a fall near the end of April and has been going down hill ever since. She started having a constant headache and trouble swallowing. The swallowing just got worse and worse. She didn't want a feeding tube. As of May 24 the she became bedbound. Her legs just would not move anymore. She was in constant pain, even with the morphine and pain patch. Monday was my day off. I had to go for pre-op for surgery I had scheduled for June 6. When I got home from pre-op I received a phone call that my friend had passed away. On Wednesday I went to the wake and spoke about what a special person this woman had became to me. Thursday was the funeral. After the funeral I had to go for more bllodwork for my surgery. Then Friday was my surgery. It was day surgery to remove my left ovary due to having a cyst. I am so sore right now and tired. They have me on meds for the pain. but I feel like all I want to do is sleep. Now I am in the process of recovering from surgery and grieving from losing a loved one. Once I recover from the surgery I have to start looking for another job.

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I hope you recover from your surgery and find another job soon. As for grieving that will be a process that will take awhile. Good luck with everything.
