Hi All,
My father is very ill at the moment, he's 82. He has had COPD for a long time now. Last week his breathing was bad, he is really week, now has fluid on his lungs, its affecting his heart. He cant even feed himself. He's still at home! We live about 140 miles from them, so i'm not really sure of the best thing to do. Also, have 5 children so need to work out the right thing.
I'm not sleeping to well, having bad dreams, my feet are constantly cold, especially left one. My legs are so achy when I walk, aches and pains in the ribs and left side. Is this part of me being tense??
I really am confused, we had to cease our business, financial problems and now my dad.
I don't know what i'm meant to be thinking and feeling and can feel myself going into my health anxiety again. Have a bruise on my foot and thinking its serious.
I really need some guidance and support at the moment if poossible please.
