"Back in the days when we were young" (from FF)
Oh my...
First, excuse my typos I'm at my mother's on her PC and I am not used to a normal keyboard anymore.
Second, I don't have net at home at the moment. That should change on Friday.
Third, oh the chaos...
Lemme see if I can get this timeline straight...days are blurring badly again. Friday...not this past one but the one before my mother was having a hard breathing. She called the doctor, but she thought it was just congestion so she didn't go in. Come Monday she couldn't even get out of bed so I took her to the Dr. They did an xray assuming it was pnuemonia. Her left lung was about 85% full of fluids. They sent her to the hospital to get it drained. Well they couldn't drain it right away because she's on an injectable blood thinner and there was too much fluid to get it by needle. Wednesday, with said fluid at 100%, they inserted a tube into her back and started draining. They got 2 liters, but couldn't drain more than that because they needed to give her lung time to recover from that much. They said then she had 2 weeks to 2 months to live. Yeah.. that's uh nice really. They continued to drain (total of about 5 liters) and test till Friday when they came back with results. It was being caused by her lung tumor...and it would not go away. Her timeline got cut down to a couple days to a week.
So yeah...they've got her at the hospital with tubes & bags, O2 tubes & masks, nebulizing treatments and a morphine drip etc. She's saying she's just holding on till she gets home which will be today or tomorrow. I'm at her place waiting for Hospice to show up with the equipment that she'll need here. E.g. hospital bed, O2 tanks, nebulizer etc. Hrm, not a good situation. I have her and her fiance's phones on a special ring tone (along with a select couple others) and I swear I freak out every time I hear it right now. It's just the waiting driving me nuts, and sometimes it seems like it'll get better...and I can't get ahold of any doctors with a clue to really find out. I mean honestly, would any respectable Dr. tell someone that they had a week max if that wasn't definate?!
Anyway...that's the newest. If she's either gone or in decent shape I'm taking off the weekend before that little bit of sanity I've managed to maintain goes bye bye. But if she's still here I'll be over here Friday and Sunday. My 26th Bday is Monday...I've already told her to not even think about dying on my birthday!
I'll be back when I can be. Xposted everywhere.
