Warning... Slight vent:
I just feel like my life is falling apart. I have been sick myself, in and out of the hospital, so I am staying with my parents, my mom driving me around and such.
Then, on Saturday, my mom had a STROKE. I had to call 911 and she was taken away in an ambulance. Yesterday she came home. She can speak, but she can not see. Her eyes are wall-eyed. And she goes into Narcoleptic seizure things, where she falls into a deep, scary sleep, and thinks she's awake... she talks to us, claiming she is awake, saying her eyes ARE open, when they are not, telling me I have to go to school, when I don't GO to school, etc. She slurs and does this weird sleep talking thing and sleeps a LOT of the day. Her muscles are VERY weak and she can't walk.
I just... I don't know what to do. crying

well we are here to listen to you vent, talk, rant, whatever you need to do. just take it one day at a time and try not to overload yourself. maybe get some friends to help you care for your critters so you can have some relax time and sit down with a nice drink and try to get your mind off things. by nice drink i mean hot chocolate or something tastey

Aw kipluk, sorry sorry to here you are having so many troubles. Sounds like we have a lot in common. I live with my older parent (who also have health issues, but thankfully have not had any strokes) and have ALSO been having health problems of my own. I understand only too well the value of a good venting. Fell free to PM me for some commiserating any time. I hope both you and your mother feel better soon. heart

Haven't been on in ages. With helping mom and with my own problems it just hasn't been a priority. Been in and out of the hospital with some weird liver/stomach thing again, so, yeah... not very helpful at the moment. But I wanted to check in and say HI and that I am alive and am still here to help when I can!!! neutral

That definitely sucks, and you have every right to vent.

Kipluck, I am so sorry for what's going on in your life right now! I understand being sick and caring for an ill parent at the same time. I moved in with my mother at Christmas, she passed away Memorial Day. It is very hard to deal with all the stress. BE SURE that you eat, and try to get rest when you can. Call friends to help care for your pets, and to sit with you for a while, maybe they might vacuum for you, do a load of laundry or cook a meal. Please keep up updated, you and your mom are in my prayers. PM me if you want.
