Things have gone from bad to worse with my mom's health, and i have been working full time so i haven't really been home much to help her out.
She's been in and out of hospital, and the doctors can't seem to figure out what is wrong. It's really disconcerting when trained professionals can't figure it out. They just keep pumping her full of drugs.
They gave her perks, which is really not a good idea. They aren't working anyway, but those things are super addictive, and to have them around the house just isn't so great. Since the pain has been going on for almost two weeks now, our family doctors has put super painkillers ( in the form of a needle) into my mom's brain, to keep her comfortable, but painkillers are not going to solve the problem.
They think the swelling on her brain might be meningitis. Serious stuff. " well only 15% of people die of it" my mum joked, i frowned and said that was too high of a number for me.
She's due to see the neurologist at the hospital today and potentially get a spinal tap.
Other than that, not much has been going on. But having your only parent sick, is enough.
hope all is well with everyone else.
