My mom is going through a lot right now. She has a traumatic brain injury from the two car accidents. She's been diagnosed as having post-concussion syndrome. I'm afraid that she might've had a stroke on top of that. I don't know what to do. I've tried all day to get her to go to the emergency room at the hospital. She's bent on not going. Tomorrow, she's going to try to get an appointment with a local clinic. They're supposed to give her a referral for the neurologist. After that, I can make an appointment for her to see him. Everything takes time.
I'm so angry. I'm not angry at her, just at what's happened. I wish it was happening to me instead. I just feel so helpless.
I watched the first episode of House of Carters tonight. My heart goes out to Nick, especially, and all of the Carter clan. He's doing a wonderful thing, trying to get his family back together. I applaud his bravery and big, caring heart. I think I love him more than ever. I will cry so much when Nick finally sheds the tears that he's held in for so long. I'm already crying. They're all grown, yet so much like children. They need guidance and Nick is determined to give it to them. The thing is that he needs it as much as anyone.
Oh, and shhhh...Don't tell anybody but Nick needs them every bit as much as they need him, maybe more.
