my life just sucks

[Janet]

Lynne, I know it frustrating. It is so hard sometimes for our parents to see that all we want is what is best for them. They need our help and if they live closer it sure helps us too. I'm lucky that with my mother it doesn't interfere with my job.

It would help if we would realize that with the medical profession, our priority is not their priority. We are wanting answers now and if it's not an emergency, they don't seem to be in any hurry.

Here I was wanting a nice quiet weekend while the guys are camping with Scouts and I have to take my Mom to a Dr. tomorrow at 1:39 in the afternoon to interview her since Mom's Dr. is leaving town. Why on the darn weekend????? AND in the middle of the freak'n day???? I understand what you're going through completely.

You know you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Lynne, hang in there. It's hard for our parents to let go and trust us to watch out for their best interests. They don't want to lose control, they've been in charge for so long, and there is something about aging that seems to make people less trustful. I think they've been dissappointed so many times by different people and events that it becomes hard for them to trust even their own children.

We'll be thinking of you and praying for strength for you and your mother.

Janet, you hang in there too, girl. You are going through such a confusing and difficult time.

Hugs to both of you!!!
