A Full Diagnosis

My mom got her dignosis today.

I booked my flight for early morning, on the 5th of September. I’ll be traveling for about a month.

My life has been high’s and lows. I’ll do my best to update you as I travel, but it won’t always be easy. My laptop is fried. My mom’s computer is broken. Maybe I’ll use my friends.

The doctor’s said, and it was more than me or my brother expected.

I wish I could call my dad, or he would return my emails but he’s in France with my stepmom, who’s mother is dying.

They gave my mom samples of medicine for her fibromyalgia.
She has a b12 defiency, they are going to give her shots of b12 twice every 2 weeks for 4 months, then once a month after than for a year. They showed degenerative cells in my moms brain for dementia. We’ve set up a 3 week long test to see what stage she’s exactly in. They also showed signs of problems with her pancreas. And tumors on her galbladder which makes sense as to her throwing up bile like clock work every month.

And sadly, the kicker for my day – she thought I was her neice, and not her daughter today :(

I’m going to walk on the beach, I think some sunshine will make me feel better.

    Dealing with an aging parent is a difficult road and having to do that 3 times myself i would have thought i would have had some words of wisdom to pass on but words get their depth from experience and really won’t make sense or will be comforting to you till you have finished this journey. The progression of life sure has it’s trials and believe it or not you will come out of this part a stronger individual.
    Look for the positive things and good memories on your trip and embrace this time with your Mom.
    i will pray for you and your family that you find the strength you need to deal with what will come your way taking care of your Mother and will mentally send you hugs when ever i think of you.
