See mood

Got a rather sad and lonely call from Colleen this morning, wanting my summary of last night's outing with Joyce, and suggesting an expedition for this afternoon.

I damned near lost it, and I'm not entirely sure why. In particular, I slowed down, stammered, repeated myself, and was generally freaky; I hope I didn't upset her. In part I'm deeply worried about the whole impending home care situation, in part there was a lot of distracting background (TV) noise on her end, and in part I had made some other, though tentative, arrangements for the afternoon (music and conversation with Joyce) and had no idea how to tell her or how she'd react.

Plus, I'm worried about a friend.

Feeling nearly sick from worry, unfortunately, doesn't solve any problems.

It's perfectly normal to be feeling stressed over impending home care. You're facing an unfamiliar situation, not sure how it's going to work and the medical 'system' isn't exactly helpful - yep, been there, hyperventilated a lot, somehow managed to muddle through. It may be scary at times and frustrating at others, but you and Colleen will get through it. Hugs to both of you.
