Dearheart, you are NOT a cranky old bag. You have a LOT of responsibility right now, not to mention having to work TWO JOBS, which is HARD on you because you're in pain all the time and have chronic fatigue!! Good heavens my friend -- what more is going to happen to you!!  And now you have to contend with a very difficult mother besides!
Bless your heart, it sounds like you're about at the end of your rope. You need some help. Is she able to take care of her needs? I assume she's on Social Security. How about having Visiting Nurse Service come in a few times a week? Call Social Services and see what services they can offer for her. She MIGHT even qualify for Hospice -- that ISN'T only for the dying! It is for people like your Mom, who have serious illnesses too! They come in several times a week, and care for her, plus an aid comes in a bathes her, changes bedding, etc. There are all kinds of services that are available, but you have to get in touch with Social Services. That would ease your time a whole lot!! And YOU need some EASING LOL
I sure hope something can be done. I know this has taken a toll on you, as I can hear it in your post. Please take good care of yourself, ok? You sound like you need a lot of REST. God bless and please let us know how you're doing ok? I'm worried about you! Hope to hear from you soon. Hugs, Lee
