Cindy RN Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I wanted to let you all know I am doing fairly well. I had my chemo for the month and have gone thru my 'tired' period, I hope. I am starting to stay awake more than sleep at this point. I actually dusted my family room, swept and mopped the kitchen and do not feel like I should be asleep. Now if I can get my girls to vacum, the house would look normal again. That is one thing that has bugged me more than anything after I got sick. I had been spoiled for years. After I graduated from nursing school I hired a lady (Betty) to clean house for me every Fri. WOW. I did one thing for ME!! It was great. She worked for us for 12 yrs til she retired. Then I found out about the cancer and was not able to work. I lost my one luxury, Betty!! My girls clean BUT never the way I would do it. NOW I can't do it very often and then only one room at a time. Here I have rambled on and on. It is funny what once seemed so important I have learned to overlook. I still would love to have the house cleaned, all of it at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I think it is time for you to find another housekeeper. We have one that comes every monday and that has made Lucie feel so much better about the house. Hope you find a jewel. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolsdaughter Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Cindy, I am happy to hear that you are feeling better. If you can hire yourself a new helper even if it's until you are up to doing thses things for yourself. Hugs, Shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny G. Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi Cindy, So glad to hear you're doing well. I can certainly relate to the house cleaning. My son is no help at all in that dept and it's really gotten bad. I also spend more time having to sit here and look at it which makes it worse. I'd love to have someone come in, but I feel like I'd have to clean first. Hope things continue to get better for you. Jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
