Mom Passed Out

Hugs, Janet.

I think that you could use one of these. You're a good daughter to your Mom!! I know that it's hard on both of you but I also see you two getting closer through all of this.

Ahhh Janet, i understand what you are going through and feeling.

I am the main carer for my Aunt and Uncle, i am like a daughter to them and they are like Mum and Dad to me, we are that close.

Both are not in good health, but at the moment are plodding on with life, however i have to spend lots of time with them, i do all the cleaning, shopping, sort out their finances, provide everything really. It is hard hard going at times especially when you have a family and work full time. But we love them and do all that willingly - cant bear thinking of anything happening to either of them, they are 84 and 78.

So i really do appreciate what you are going through (we can get exhausted together!!!!!!). I also get so tired, on a Friday when i get home at 9.30 i am just about done for, try to watch TV but no chance - i am asleep in no time. It takes me all weekend to recover myself, then Monday comes and its happening all over again.

Oh dear - just read this back and it looks like i am moaning again - i am not honestly, i just wanted to say you are not alone, and keep smiling

I didn't think you were moaning at all Diane....after awhile, it can really get to us. I'm sorry you're going through something so similiar.

Oh Janet, I saw where your mom has peritonitis and low hemoglobin. She must just feel terrible. I know you are exhausted, it takes so much time and the worry is even more exhausting than the running around.

Diane, you have your hands full for sure, with a fulltime job and a big caregiver job. I understand what both of you are going through. I do my share of moaning too. Betsi is in the same boat with her husband and his health problems, so, we'll just be the moany sisters, whenever we need to be!

We are alot closer Diana...maybe this was God's plan. Thank you for the hug...you have no idea how much I need one.

Mom has been feeling so weak for awhile now...we all thought it was the peritonitis. I took her Monday to the dialysis center where they put some more antibiotics in. She has to do this for one more week. While we were there, it was all she could do to walk. They checked her hemoglobin and it was 7.1 Some how she lost blood or she's not making it again.....just like she did last year...remember? They want her to have another colonoscopy, but she's not liking the idea. She did say she wasn't going to drink that gross stuff again and I can't say as I blame her. That stuff is sooooo nasty. I know when I had to drink it, as soon as it went down it came back up. I'll never drink it again either, so I know how she feels.

I just hope we can get this all figured out before she goes to Florida. I can't help her or keep an eye on her while she's down there.
