Hey there! Hi there! Ho there!

Oh...now we're here!
Shortly after Christmas, I got sick. Congestion that lasted 4 days. Then Jan 4 or thereabout, KW got sick and she's been dealing with it ever since! It's hard to believe that it's been as long as it was because I usually count things by Sundays and she's only missed 2 Sundays at church...but still, that's 2 weeks and both times was because she wasn't feeling well or still "recovering" from a weekend of being actually sick.
A week ago yesterday, things came to a head with KW. She started throwing up again, and that Tuesday night she was getting weak to her legs. So many accidents Tuesday to Wednesday night. With how she was acting, I threatened to go back to my sister's because I rather deal with my sister than her. Wednesday, she slid off the sofa when I was trying to help her up and I spent a fucking hour trying to get her to stand up. In the end, I had to call the paramedics. THEN, not even an hour later, the same thing, but in the bathroom! That time I didn't call the paramedics. I called her sister and they came down (in the pouring rain!) to help me get her off the bathroom floor! I was pissed and spent 10 minutes or so crying in the closet before KW's sister and brother in law arrived. Like...I could not deal with it. She's off the bathroom floor and back to the living room. I put on fresh pants for her and pray there were no more accidents because I would have probably had her sent to the hospital myself and gone to my sister's so that I wouldn't have to deal with it while they got her "better".
Thursday morning, I called her psychiatrist, but she's still on vacation until Feb 1. We already have an appt for Feb 5, so I said whatever, I'd wait until then. KW's sister would be going with us to that appt. We (KW's sister, brother in law and me) really believe she's so medicated, it's messing with her body and she genuinely needs to have proper blood work done. This means her medical doctor has to be read into everything that's going on...but we don't see him until Feb 26th! I've been trying since before Christmas to get an earlier appt or see if there were any walk-in times open. The funds aren't available to just go there every day or whatever, in hopes of being seen.
The rest of Thursday, KW improved. She was able to sit up on her own. Her legs were stronger that she could get to the bathroom with her walker and me behind her. Friday she was even better. No more throwing up and she could get to the bathroom by herself, still with the aid of the walker. However, she was still having nightly accidents. She takes her night time meds at 9:30 pm and that's also when she stops drinking liquids, but that didn't matter. Still 2 or 3 accidents at night.
Saturday I went to church for a worship team meeting, then to the market. KW's sister and brother in law took me and dropped me back with KW. We had food and disposable underwear. Gave KW her shower and that was it for Saturday. KW chose not to go to church this past Sunday, but we are making her go this coming Sunday. It's her sister's birthday and she wants to do something with all of us, plus, it's not good for KW to stay cooped up all the time.
Now here we are with Wednesday and the month is almost over. I'm stressing over money even though I got a pay raise and KW got an increase in her care hours. I have more bills than the money I'm making and that's obvious stress...not to mention the damn Government has been shut down for weeks now and I don't know if I will have my EBT funds for March to get food!
Something good...I've done a lot more writing. This month alone, I've written almost 3700 words! I signed up for H50 Big Bang on Tumblr and that will be something about art imitating life? I'm pulling from my RL and tweaking it for the characters of H50. I also joined![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fluffbingo, so next month I'll be writing and posting for that. I'm excited!
Bah! Next entry will be much more fun (the bingo table for fluff bingo!)!
