RL is sucking right now
RL Rant.
So my mom has the beginnings of Alzheimer's and is having her own struggles. Now, her 79 year-old "boyfriend" of 3 years has been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver.
Mom is not handling the stress well and her memory is for shit the past few weeks. I finally had to take her to the Neurologist Monday to get some Xanax so she would calm down enough to function. We have an aide for 4 hours every morning, but Mom's demands on me and my brothers is increasing and taking it's toll. She's not allowed to drive, so she expects us to be available when she wants to go visit the BF. Luckily, we all live within 20 minutes of each other, but we all work except for my sisters-in-law. Plus I work for one brother who is a CPA, and we are in the heart of tax season and swamped.
I know the next few weeks/months are going to be very bad for all of us, especially the BF and his family. He is such a nice guy, and knew something was wrong and has been going to the doctor for 6 months and they didn't find anything until last week when they did a cat scan at the hospital. He's in a lot of pain right now, and that probably means he has very little time left.
As I said, RL is sucking right now :-(
