Update on Mom

[spiritfree]

Mom had another major heamorage this afternoon. She was rushed, by ambulance, to another hospital, where she is having major surgery this evening. I visited her last night and she looked better, but deteriorated this afternoon. The hospital is quite a distance, from where I live and, to be honest, I really don't feel well enough, myself, to travel there. I get really bad panic attacks and I would only make things worse. My sister, younger than me, says I must go on monday, but I know what I can cope with and what I can't and I know I can't cope with this. I hope you, all, don't think me selfish. I'll keep you posted.

Oh my dear, of course we don't think you are selfish! Very sorry to hear about this turn of events, I hope that your Mum is able to get good treatment - I will be thinking of you and your family. Please come on and post if you feel you need to talk, and take care.

Its your Sister thats being the selfish one, for not understanding the problem that you face, if its possible why cannot your sister come and take you there at least you would have family to help you.

You take care spiritfree

John.

Just wanted to say you're in my thoughts & prayers, i know it can't be an easy situation for any of you. Do you think like John suggests it might be easier to visit if a friend / family member could take you, and give you some support? Either way, hoping the op tonight marks a turning point and your mum gets much better very quickly - please look after yourself too. Xx

Thank you all for replies. No operation for mom tonight as they have no beds available. She is having to sleep in A&E for the night. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Fingers crossed a bed clears and they can get the op done soon! Xxx

Thanks for everyone's kindness. Mom is now in the critical care unit. She needs a special scan. I'm not sure what sort but it will be done on monday. We're prepared for the worsed outcome. The hospital, she is in, has got the bad sickness and diorreah bug and so no visiting is allowed. I feel like a prize bitch but I am relieved that I don't have to go. I am still having counciling after the death of my lovely dad 4 years ago. My head is spinning, I am so stressed.

Take care xx 🙂

Really sorry to hear your mum's still so ill...and I don't think you are a prize b AT ALL - it's always really hard seeing someone you love in that kind of situation, & given the loss of your dad even more understandable & natural that this is a hard time for you. Please try & be gentle on yourself, take care of yourself & don't beat yourself up - it won't help anyone. Wishing you a restful nights sleep, and good news over the next few days. (((((and a big hug too!!))))) xx
