Roni….no one goes through this easily but, we gain strengths as we go. Often times it is the anticipation that causes the most stress when in fact the reality of the situation may turn out to be quite different. You will get through it, dear Roni. Life throws us curveballs but, somehow, some way, we are able to catch it. You have all along and you will continue to do so.
All my best wishes,
MarionThank you for listening
Mom is a pistol, always has been, she says “if you cannot laugh in a sad situation all you will do is cry, therefore it is better to laugh, joke, and make light of things, she says you cannot take life to seriously.” She really is 1 tough cookie, I hope I have 1/2 the strength she has; to be strong and continue forward with a positive attitude. Time feels so short sometimes, and although I try to be prepare for what is coming, I fear I will fall apart. Thanks for always being there to support me and listen to me.
Regards,
Roni
ronidinkes@yahoo.comOy Vey is right. Roni, I know its not funny but I am sitting here smiling to myself. Your Mom is a pistol and I would have loved to meet her! She is a hoot!
I don’t know what happened but glad she is back to normal. With her great attitude she is not going until she is ready! I would be worried too if I couldn’t reach her, but still and all I am chuckling! The best remark was to tell you to stop the “hysteria calling”. It’s a comedy sitcom. Ok, no more making fun of the situation. Relax and try to think of a way for her to let you know she is ok. Oops, guess that won’t happen. Well, then just try to relax!Roni..what a character your Mom is! Had she been given a different type of medication? Or, did she accidentally take too much of a medication? Yes, people become confused and disorientated when the ammonia level rises however; we have not seen it to reverse itself (unless treated.)
I am sure that someone will come forward and help us out. In the meantime I am enclosing a link for your perusal..

And, no Roni, you are not a worry-mess. It is a very difficult situation and as always you are doing everything in your power to make things right.
All my best wishes,
MarionLast weekend, went running up to NY- Mom was not well, having blood transfusions, then she went into a strange state: she could not talk, did not get out of bed, could not eat, was calling ME “mom” and “saying she wanted to go home”…she was so disoriented, and confused I had hospice come 11:15pm Saturday night…..4 days later….she is back to normal….
We all figured this is the end, and now she is back…..she told hospice, she is not ready, and yet I have no idea what happened medically???? She said the hospice ladies were so fat they were going to surely die, before she did! oiy vay! What does one say to that?
I am exhausted, overwhelmed, tired, weary, sad, hopeful, worried, angry we are all going through this.
I keep calling to check on her, when she does not answer the phone I panic.
She told me she is fine, and I need to stop the “hysteria calling”, I just think when someone says they are going to call you back and they do not….and they are ill, it worries me.
Maybe I am a worry-mess…..
Anyone else experience this?
