Subject: Re: TUESDAY 12 OCTOBER by CorvetteBob on 2021/10/12 15:17:47 Good morning! Things were ok but now I’m with my son at the ER. I need to vent some, so I’ll tell you now, the rest of this is a downer. Read it at your own choice. He’s had lifelong food allergies and other gastro related issues. Since April he’s lost over 40lbs. because he can’t hold it down. This has caused a great deal of depression and acting out from his frustration. I’m pretty sure that the medical practices regarding the digestive system and other related things are, at best just beyond the doctor sitting and pounding out rhythms on a log. It’s because of these issues he’s unable to hold a job. It’s getting worse as he ages. I’ve been advised by friends to try the Cleveland Clinic, but he and my wife aren’t on board with it. Dealing with it for so long has worn us all down, and I’m sure it’s not been good for our marriage. But the one major worry we share is what will happen after we’re gone. We won’t even begin to ask his sister to babysit him. She deserves a life. But his development issues preclude his independence, and group homes won’t be able to feed him. We’ve tried different levels of counseling, but that’s just a route to pills, not actual help. I kind of hope I haven’t ruined anyone’s day with this. I don’t want any pity for it. I really just needed to spit it out. Thanks. |
