This Is What I Know So Far And Mom Is Sick

If it isn't one thing it is always another isn't it? Same with dealing with my dad. Luckily he's been well for a few weeks straight now. I am waiting on pins and needles waiting for the next problem to arise. Prayers going to C&D. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Tell me about it GG. It's pretty scary isn't it Grandpa Bob? This whole year has been a roller coaster of emotions and I'm soooo ready to get off! Mom is at the emergency room now being evaluated and I'm waiting for a phone call from her or dad before going up there. Mom has had kidney stones for a long long time so it's nothing new. She has one huge one right now but she couldn't be operated on because of having blood clots in her lungs. She was on cumin for it but she's off of it now. The way I understood it, she can't have surgery for at least 6 months after being on cumin or after finding it out. I would think after being on cumin, but I don't know for sure. I think both she and dad are on borrowed time. I really do. She thought she'd never have a stroke because her blood pressure was so low all the time, so is mine for I take after her so much health wise except the kidney stones (so far)but now her blood pressure goes way up and having a brain stem stroke already, it scares the hell out of me that she's going to have another one and not make it this time around. She says she's not ready to go yet which makes me feel all the more bad for her. All I want is for them both to see that damned house sold and enjoy some of the money that they'll receive. It's all I ask.

Thanks Thoroughrob.... she's at the emergency room now being evaluated and I'm at home at the moment waiting to hear back from her or dad then I'll be heading up there to be with her. I really believe her and dad both are on borrowed time. If they can live long enough to see that house sold and enjoy some of the money that they'll get then I'll be happy for them. It's all I ask for.

I am glad she went. I hope things go pretty well. It would be so nice if things would just go good for you, for once.

Thanks danish. Right now it's a kidney stone but I don't know if its the cause of her high blood pressure but I would imagine it is because it's pain and pain causes stress and stress causes high blood pressure. I think both of my parents are on borrowed time. If they can just get that house sold and off their backs, and live what ever kind of life as long as it's a happy one then I'll be happy for them. It's all I want for them is to have that house sold and to be happy and as healthy as they can be.

Thanks so much for the update on mom hon. I'm so glad it went well. Now as for you.....breathe in......breathe out.....and repeat. LOL! Hugs

Thank you Kat!! So far no word on the guy and the house but as they say, no news is good news.... well I hope it applies to this as well anyway. Mom is doing better tonight but gosh what a scare!! Whew!! She had to have a stint put in which meant she had to be put to sleep which scared the hell out of us because she was told she couldn't be put under because of having a stroke and blood clots in her lungs or she'd die. So they put her in a deep deep sleep instead of putting her under and it worked like a charm!! She has to go back in two months to have the "boulders" removed. They couldn't do it tonight because she has a severe infection and could get into her blood stream if they tried to get the stones so it's best to wait a couple of months. Right now with the stint, her water is flowing so it's working great!! Hugs to you too!!

Yes I feel like a corn kernal in a popcorn machine!! Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going!! If I'm not snow white when this is all over, I'll NEVER be!! You're right, breathe in and out slowly would help. I'll have to try harder to keep that in mind!! Thanks!

Please read the response below, I don't have time to tell you about it. Just know she could die with or without the surgery or have another stroke!! Pray please!! I'm so freaked out!!!!!!!

Thanks Polly.... she's at the emergency room now being evaluated and I'm waiting for a phone call before going up there. Gosh, when it rains it really pours. I agree, with the stress of the house trying to get it sold, is no doubt a big part of hers and dads problems. I really believe they're both on borrowed time. If they could get that house sold and get to enjoy some of the money that they'll get then I'll be happy for them. It's all I ask for!

Just got back from the hospital and they've admitted her. So far they know she has a kidney infection and a blockage from a kidney stone that's rather large. I don't know how they're going to get it out because she can't be put to sleep for the procedure. I suggested an epidorial but we'll see how it goes later on today. It's 5:30 am here so I'm going to try to get a few hours sleep and then I'll be back at the hospital once again. Thanks gabs. Hugs to you too....

Hi grandpa bob.... I hope so too for it would be such a relief of such a heavy burden!! It looks promising so far but we wait and see how it goes. Mom drank water all the time. So much so that I thought she's float away!! lol Her doctor told her the reason she got kidney stones is because her body can't absorb calcium like it should and instead it turns into stones in her kidneys. Can you imagine how brittle her bones are? I wonder why I'm so freaked about her?! Thanks for the prayers.... May God bless you too!

Thanks angelia. That's mighty sweet of you! This whole year has been hard to deal with with one thing after another. There's no doubt that my faith has been tested to the extreme and I've come out of it all with flying colors but here we go again! I feel that my parents both are on borrowed time and it scares the hell out of me! All I want is for them to see that darned house to be sold and they get to enjoy some of the money that they'll get from it. It's what I wish for.
