Journal entry by Becky O'Meara —
Good news: Turned a corner this weekend, getting some strength back little by little, able to keep food down more than previous weeks, gained about 10 lbs in 2 days, hydrated, finally going in the right direction thanks to an abundance of TLC from Tim. Over and over he loves me back to life. Don't know what I'd do without him. One way or another we will overcome this, really NEED good labs today, chemo tomorrow, and full calendar of PCAs through March. Praying, hoping. 💛 We got this! LFG. 💪💗☀️🥰🦋 (Getting some great ideas on how to benefit others along the way too, giving others boosts, Butterfly bags, and lots of other ideas, Becky's Phoenix~ Butterfly Booster Club, want to create and magnify moments of joy and gratitude and hope for others who need a boost. More on this soon. 😊) Need to shift from crisis mode to harmonious healing together as a team goal.
PCA SEARCH:
Starting wage is $19/ hr, part time weekday shifts (with possible eves or wknds later if they want). I have one wonderful PCA who will mostly do Tuesdays and Thursdays so Mondays and Wednesdays are open. No certification or special training required or heavy lifting or baturoom duties. My primary qualifications are (1) Safety (including wearing N95 mask around very immunocompromised cancer patient) and (2) Kindness 💛 Main tasks include basic ADLs (help person with low vision and mobility around home, pretty easy), some easy exercises, light cooking, light cleaning, some appointments, med reminders andnset up, companionship, some fun stuff to make the most of each day. As my cancer recently spread to liver, several organs, bone, and brain, it's getting harder to be home alone while family is at work and they have taken so much time off. I am determined to eradicate this cancer, getting a new chemo treatment for 8 weeks and then rescan and re evaluate. It would lower my stress level so much if I could fill these 2 months of weekdays now Feb and March, know we have needed help and support for this chapter through at least March, and shift from being in constant crisis mode to more harmonious healing mode. Most accessible way to contact me is on fb messenger here, or beckyomeara42@gmail.com or 218-790-8373. I can do a casual application and interview by messenger or phone any time from today forward except Tuesday (chemo). Thanks so much formreading, sharing, caring. Much LOVE TO ALL!
