Depressed and stressed. I know this is not my responsibility and I know there is very little I can do, but I cant help feeling this way. I woke up to a phone call from the neighbor, this morning. (afternoon, really, but I work 2nd shift) He asked if I could come over, because his nurse would like to talk to me. When I got there, she was visibly unhappy. I guess he was unresponsive when she showed up. His blood sugar was down to 30. No food in the house... Wife was gone. Kid was on vacation. Ex-wife had 4 daycare kids she couldnt leave... She gave him sugar to bring him around. The social worker was on her way with some frozen meals. I ran home, plated up my lunch, (mashed potatoes, pork chop & gravy, and green beans) and heated it up. Then took it over to him. I sat with him while he ate, but I dont know what else I can do. I cant afford to feed another mouth on a daily basis. I just want to cry. I keep thinking of my grandpa while Grandma was in the nursing home after her stroke. It wasnt the same, by any means, but Grandpas sugar was going haywire the whole time she was there. I guess this is all just bringing back bad memories. I miss you, Grandpa.
