She fell down again...

[omgdiepls]

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.

It sucks being scared for her.. I know how you feel. I don't know if you feel this way.. but I know how I have felt in the past. Sometimes the being scared is not only for the loved one.. but it's being scared for us. That is more than ok.. *hug* Being over 3k miles away.. it is really hard .. She is telling you the truth.. maybe not as soon as you would like her to.. but she is keeping you informed. Our moms just love us that much. I read about the insurance/work thing. Did your mother ever take out disability insurance from LCSD? They will grant a "leave of absence" to employees who are in predicaments like your mom.. where they are still "employed" just not getting a pay check. I don't know if that info helps.. I know how awesome LCSD medical benefits are

I admit, I am scared for her and for me.. what this means for my family. I am hearing information from the world's worst communicators. My dad is hard in denial. He still says he doesn't think she has ALS... my sister, who doesn't listen, and has a slight problem with the truth.. also with sibling rivalry.. I really think she is skewing things in her mind to make it a 'they love me best' situation.. which is really really fucking scary. And of course, my mom who doesn't communicate unless you pull it out of her.. and she's dealing with enough
