Haven't written in a long time..
I got one of those "someone tried to log into your LJ. was it you?" emails. It prompted me to take a look, because.. basically, I haven't looked at it since I last posted. My last post was April 15, 2013. I was worried about breathing tubes and feeding tubes and watching my Mom suffer. She died in her sleep 12 days later. It's been almost 9 months ( Read more... ) -
Sarasota
We are on the way to Sarasota for Mom's MDA appointment. I am hoping that everything goes okay but I suspect it won't. The doctor is probably going to put her on oxygen. Perhaps a feeding tube. Yuck to both things. I am scared for her. :(

Bullshit covered bullshit, with a bullshit center.
To say that today was kind of bullshit would really be an amazing understatement. We've been patiently awaiting MRI results from Mom's back since the last ones she got about a month ago suggesting cysts might be causing some of her issues..
Well.. they came back today.. nary a cyst but the one they found on her neck. It was a disappointment, though ( Read more... ) -
1 AM Truthiness..
I've been back in Fort Myers for a couple of weeks now. It's been both easier and tougher than I thought. I've been spending a lot of time talking to my mom, which is amazing. She's so ridiculously fucking brave about stuff, but at the same time, she's darkly pessimistic. (Not that I can really fault her for either of those outlooks, really).. She ( Read more... ) -

She fell down again...
My mom fell down again… broke her foot. She needs to be wheelchair bound at this point as she doesn't have balance anymore. She almost busted through the glass of the coffee table. She disclosed that she fell 3 times during spring break too but didn't say at the time because she didn't hurt herself. I am so scared for her.

The Telephone Game
Ever play the telephone game in school? You'd pass something around the room as a whisper.. by the time it made it to you, it was never even close to what was said originally. The message is usually unimportant.. but what happens when it IS important? What happens when you are playing this game with 3 classically poor communicators and have no ( Read more... ) -
Junk
so today has been junk. Training is fucking boring. The facilitator is bland and uninterested. Noooo sense of humor.
My mom wants to quit her job but isn't able to because she needs the insurance. Can't wait for the public marketplace to open so it will be more competitive. She can't walk and she can't really do things very well with her hands.

Not my best day...
So today has been pretty shitty. I am relatively certain my dad was drunk when I called home earlier. Kind of wish that wasn't his foolproof answer to everything.. because it really doesn't fix a thing.
My mom seemed a little better, which was good. She is bummed about having surgery on her birthday. It could be worse though.
Class today is ( Read more... )
