Sadness abounds
For those that I haven't kept informed here is an update:
My mother at the ripe age of 73 fell last Friday. :(
My brother and sister ended up taking her to the hospital as a precaution.
They found evidence of a stroke, congestive heart failure, a mass the size of a hand in her chest and another on her kidney and the pneumonia had spread to both lungs.
The doctors are prevented from doing MRI's because of an implant in her ear (metal and large magnets don't mix)
The doctors cannot do a biopsy on the mass because she would not wake up from the anesthesia(sp?)
My relationship with my mother has always been strained so I have lots of mixed emotions but sadness abounds :(
