Hard conversations

Hi stranger (((((((((((rebound)))))))))))

Drop you a line huh? Do I need a permit to fish? j/k. Thanks. huggles.

Wow - thanks again to you all. I hope I responded to everyone. If I missed someone, I'm sorry.

You all are great. Very supportive, with your hugs, wishes, and offers of talking in PM.

This week is going to be pretty busy. Besides' mom's appointment, I have my opthamalogist appointment this week too (to see how my eyes are doing, if more surgery is needed, etc.), dad's birthday, and of course, mother's day on sunday. phew. I got some shopping to do. sigh

Here's an update on my mother.

She needs to go to the hospital in July for radiation treatment, but before that, she needs a couple shots of harmone treatment because of her high blood pressure.

A week or 2 after the radiation she needs to get an 'x-ray' to see if all the cancer cells are gone. Then go from there.

She does have quite a few doctor's appointments in between.

I feel so bad for her, she doesn't deserve it. I'd trade places with her in a split second if I could.

Well, tomorrow is my turn to see a doctor - for my eyes. sigh....

Hi, no one deserves it. It makes a big difference to stay positive. You can help her in that way. She is older, older people often become ill before we do. We are pretty likely to outlive our parents. Not always but for those who have been loved and supported by their parents, anticipating loss is very big. P.M. me anytime. Take care and keep healthy.

Thanks, (((((((((ww)))))))) words from the wise.

I understand that usually parents die before their kids, but it is very hard when she's so 'active'. She's retired, but babysits my bro's 3 kids, work on the yard, volunteers to help out at the church, etc.

I guess it's best to go on with our lives as if all is ok, and just go to appointments when scheduled, and take it a day at a time.

Speaking of keeping healthy, saw my opthamalogist today and he said he's happy with my eye pressures. They're both 15, which is within the acceptable range. As long as I can keep them 19 or below, I'm ok. About time something good happened.

Hooray for good days and good news.

(((((((ww))))))) you have your own problems and yet, you still manage to help others. Thank you!
