Ok, just when I think this week can't get any worse or difficult:
My Mother is refusing the feeding tube, and it's on me to go to the hospital and to try to convince her to do it. Jesus fucking Christ. I have no words, other than that I must have really pissed of some deity in a past life or something. x(

Seriously. How much stress can I take?! I'm about to find out, I guess. Let's just say that tomorrow's hangover should be epic. :crazy:

10. He'll be home soon, but first we have to go
to the hospital here, b/c he has lung tests scheduled for 1 pm. What a fantastic day. My friend dies, I have to convince my Mom that she needs to do something so she doesn't die... :wtf: I need a Xanax.

14. sigh. that is quite a load to handle.
you need more than a xanax. :( at least Sniffa is enroute. i was concerned you had to sit there by yourself alone all afternoon waiting and dwelling on all of this.

good prayers and vibes for your mom, you and sniffa. It's very hard, my husband had to drive down to see his mom in the hosp about an hour or more from here many, many times. :grouphug:

16. No, I don't think so...
She's nowhere near dead, I think she just is resisting the idea of giving up more control. I have contacted her Neurologist, and he is meeting me there.

I have always said it's easier to be the sick one than to stand by helplessly and watch a loved one battle illness :hug:

17. Oh, BiBaby, I wish there was something I could do for you. Always remember, when you're
feeling down, that you are just about the best daughter your parents could ever have hoped for. And I'm not just saying that because you're my friend. It's the stone truth. And a pat on the back for Mr S from me as well, for hanging in with you during all your family troubles. Redstone

21. Well, that's not good.
I'm sure it's a big step for her, psychologically as well as physically. You're a good daughter, and I know she'll listen to you. Good luck (and to sniffa as well with his tests). :hug: :hug: :hug: :loveya:
