Thanks for all the good wishes, thoughts and prayers sent her way. She has been moved to a rehab facility for therapy and nursing care and will be there 2-3 weeks before the doctor will release her to go back to her home. I think she had a small stroke on Monday, but the doctor who wasn't her doctor until she went to the hospital says he doesn't think so. She has been having T.I.A.'s for a few years, small enough to cause her some confusion but not large enough to do major damage and the brain revives itself somewhat a few days after having one. There are no tests they can do to check for these types of strokes and she is getting a bit better than she was Monday afternoon. Now she is driving me crazy, calling and complaining about everything that happens....and some things that never happened. She has always been a complainer and unable to accept changes and now at the age of 83 she has come to believe that it is her right to complain and expect things to not change simply because she is old and that it is my obligation to listen to her complaints. Some good thoughts and prayers sent in my direction would be nice, something to keep me from having a case of PTSD when this is all over and done. Sorry to vent. If time and the weather would allow me to be outside in the garden I could 'toast' a whole lot of weeds right now and feel sooooo much better
Vent away Toni - that's what friends are for. :-D "Now she is driving me crazy, calling and complaining about everything that happens....and some things that never happened." Exactly what my mum used to be like so I know how you're feeling at the moment. Still, I suppose it shows that she's getting better (or worse ) if you know what I mean!!
Nice to hear your Mom is coming home soon Toni. And don't worry about the garden, spring will be here before you know it! Happy New Year
Thinking of you and understanding your frustration. Been there, done that :!: Hopefully when she feels better her demeanor will improve. Sending cheerful vibes your way. :-D
Oh toni I'm glad your mom is getting better and I'm sorry your mom is not like my mom was.She was the most uncomplaining person I ever knew. My prayers go out to you and your mom.
My mother was never a complainer, either. She was such a sweet and quite soul. I sure miss her. Those of you that still have your mothers, please don't complain for they won't be here forever. Toni I hope your mother gets better soon. Prayers still coming for her and you!
Glad that your mum is getting better, have patience we all have only one mum and some day our day will come Good wishes and Cheerful thoughts your way :!:
toni....((hugs))...are you my sister? I could swear you described my Mom to a tee and they are the same age...I hope everything works out alright for her and all you can do is keep smiling or you will go bananas...(just an expression, like nuts if you have never heard it before) My husband just looks at me and says it sure is terrible that she feels that way about everything...and we smile at one another and laugh, just to keep our sanity. I just hope we never get like that but with age we will find out.((HUGS))
My mum was born to complain! I am glad she is getting better, and sorry she is complaining although she must be feeling better if she has the strength to have a good old moan. Love to you and strong wishes. xxx
