Making good progress this week on my path with terminal cancer. I seem to be losing muscle mass and gaining ascites fluid buildup. This is causing fluid pressure in my abdomen and on my dislocated rib and hip problem, and therefore is causing a lot of pain. With the increasing fluid buildup in my abdomen I now have very little space left in my stomach for food. This is causing major acid reflux.
We discussed these problems with my hospice nurse. I now have a hospital bed, which my husband spent hours wrapping the mattress, trying to contain its perfume smell. We also had to wrap the controls and wires with plastic wrap because I’m so allergic to perfumes. It is helping me sleep better.
