Thanks for all the hugs. I actually had a normal conversation with her last night, although she spoke very softly. Sometimes she seems fine with her speech and other times she says half a sentence and can't finish it. She has lost short term memory. Couldn't figure out how to take all her meds that she has been taking for years and yesterday when she went to have a shower she scalded herself with only using the hot water. Luckily my sister was there because we don't feel comfortable leaving her alone in the house, especially for cooking and her meds. These are just some of the reasons she must go to a nursing home. She was already dealing with several other disabilities that were not making her very happy to have until she died and how she has this too. My dad died of a stroke years ago but he went into a coma and never came out of it. He died within a week. I'm so distraught. I'm glad my brother is coming to Toronto tomorrow. He's been helping me on the phone up to this point. It's just so sad that my mom has to live like this, when I know she must hate it and it hurts me to see her go through this too and

I'M NOT READY TO LOSE MY MOM!!! WE'RE VERY CLOSE!!!
