"When someone in the house is not feeling well"

I know how you feel. With my family taking care of our father with leukemia its not easy at all. My mother worries about my father's food because he could no longer tolerate solid foods and I take care of the rest. I do the blood extractions for his complete blood count, I am the one incharge to insert an intravenous line, give medications, instruct my sibling how to turn sides , how to clean up. We barely have enough sleep plus the added pressure of whether to admit him for transfusion or just do it as out patient because of money constraints. It was not easy at all but try to stay calm . if its a maintenance medication then follow the prescription .

No , i take everything calmly , or else we will both be sick . So, just relax my friend , so you can take care of him well.

As a mother, I think we might be more tiring and worrying when the children fall sick. When my children are not feeling well, I always ask them to take more rest and drink more water. I don't usually do more than usual, but sometimes sick children might be a little more demanding as they are not feeling well. Glad that they usually get well very soon. When my husband is sick, he also just needs to sleep more, I just have to do the rest of the work. I am the one who is the unhealthiest in the family.

this morning my knee hurts and my wrist hurts, for some reason I think i just experience high blood because of my frustration today. This reminds me to exercise again. Im sorry you had some trouble recently, take care and rest for the whole day.

Gosh! I understand what happens to you. That frequent pee & poop is a sign of tension/stress, my dear Ida. Relax. Take deep breaths. Drink warm water. Hum a favorite song. Watch comedy shows on the tv. Honestly? It's been decades & I haven't taken care of a sick member of our family, thanks God! Why? Because it seems I took all the possible ailments that could be suffered from by any of my loved ones. I prayed for that, so, this could be the reason. I am, most of the days in the week, the one my loved ones take care of.

Luckily we don't sick too often. It is always a worry though if someone is unwell.

same feeling. i worry a lot whenever my father looks sick. i ask him right away if hes ok cause sometimes he quiet about it. i worry for my nephew too cause hes just 3 yrs old. he really needs attention. thank God hes not sickly..

Yes. Sometimes I will feel that my heart is tired when some members of the house is not feeling well. But, it is not always like that.

I am not so stressed out. At least blood pressure and sugar are not part of the problem in our household. We can just go to the clinic to get some medication and then we can sleep at home.

I am calm. Rushing or bothering ourselves will not bring good.

Yes you feel down automatically.

I think of making that person get better soon. :)

since I am a nurse, when either my sister or my son is sick, I make it a point to know how they feel. we divide the household responsibilities that is why when i was sick, I did not do the dog foods and wash the dishes.

I take charge and take care of them. I try to stay calm and not agitate them further when they are down.
