She closed her eyes and began sobbing. Her chest rising with each strained breath. Tears ran down her once full and beautiful face ( Read more... ) -
Change
I awoke to the shrill ringing of my cordless phone. I look over at my clock and notice it's 8:45!!! I NEVER sleep in this late. I sat right up as she spoke to me. Sorry I didn't call earlier, but I was still ok. Did I wake you? Wow, you never sleep late ( Read more... ) -
Friday night
Friday night wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Our game was canceled because the opposing team didn't have enough people to field a team. We had a practice instead. I found out my kid can pitch !! I'm excited and horrified all at once. She has real quick reflexes, but I am soooo afraid that she'll catch a line drive right in her beautiful ( Read more... ) -

It's been quite a while since I've last typed my thoughts and problems.
Most nights I get home I'm too mentally exhausted to sit and unload. Mornings are just plain chaotic, getting ready,doing lunches, ironing the daily outfit, then running off to Mom's to spend about 1/2 hour or more with her before dashing to work.
I need to put myself in the ( Read more... ) -

Her skin is raw and painful from the tape being removed and ( Read more... ) -

Mom's weight is back up. Although you may think it's a good thing, it actually is not. Yesterday she spent her entire day sitting up in a chair. She has 8lbs of additional fluids within her. Before yesterday the fluids were in her abdomen& back, now they are also in her legs. The nursing staff has given her special stockings to wear to help with ( Read more... ) -
Confused, mind-boggled,upset,depressed...etc
I had to go in to my mom's doctors office yesterday. He asked my mom to have me go at the end of his shift. People working with me tried lifting my spirit by saying, maybe he wants to discuss her care when she gets released. He probably only wants to make sure she will be cared for properly once home.Blah blah blah ( Read more... ) -
Exhausted
My eyes are swollen and blackened underneath. I spent part of last night at the hospital with mom. She is fluid filled and swollen. Sitting up is difficult, laying down is out of the question cause she coughs and sputters, and standing won't work either. Her skin is now very yellow and odd looking. There are no longer any signs of her eyeballs ever ( Read more... ) -
Saturday Night
Well, my adult novelty party was fun. I ended up with 45.00 worth of free "toys". Not too shabby. I got 2 bookings and possibly a third, which means for each one I get 15.00 to spend at that party. WOO HOO ( Read more... )
