Struggling with Health Management and Caregiving Responsibilities

i had a shunt put in my portal vein about seven weeks ago. i have cystic fibrosis, which causes a lot of health issues. i’ve been really struggling to keep up with medications, while also taking care of & visiting my sick grandmother. i haven’t had proper bowel movements which is causing yellowing of my eyes. my bilirubin went from 1.7 to 4.3 & i need to get a duplex ultrasound. how does everybody manage keeping up with a healthy lifestyle & bathroom regimen?
