Cancer sucks. That is all

  • Until I read the part about the boy friend, and figured out you're a woman--I was a little concerned about the untold mountains of grief you were going to take with the tittie-twister thing. lol A good sport, you are.

    There will come a day when your brothers will wish their children had the dedication you are showing toward your mother. Good luck.

  • We both dozed off watching the evening news yesterday. Mom wakes up with a start.

    Mom: WAKE UP! GET UP NOW!
    Me: fall out of the chair getting up so quick. "mom! Whats wrong? What do you need??"
    Mom: "you have to go buy my lotto ticket"
    Me: "LOLwut"
    Mom: "get my lotto ticket!!"

  • We had a very rough night Friday but the brothers have come around and are taking shifts during the weekend. Hospice nurse said Friday night she is declining. Thank you for all of your continued thoughts.

    Sorry, man. It takes the occasional moment where you just close your eyes and breathe deeply.

  • I lost my Grandma to esophageal cancer 3.5 years ago. The loss still stings, but she was the type of person to go "Hey, don't mope over me, enjoy life! I'll be fine."

    She was also the most caring and compassionate, non-judgmental person in my life. I still miss her to this day.

    When I went to Chicago this weekend to visit my Dad and watch the Tigers, I saw the card that my Grandma left him to open after she passed. It was really soothing and just really good to read. I still read mine every once in a while, basically saying that it's okay and that she'll always be there.

    I'm sorry about your Mom, OP. But you are a great person for taking care of her and enjoy this time together.

    Do you respect wood?

    Hospice is great, depend on them more to help carry your load. Sounds like you are handling things really well and getting some help from your brothers allows you to get a break.

    Glad you are getting some help. That is great news. Im glad for your brothers that they are getting some time with her as well. I know it sucks.

    My dad had his PET Scan last week and is at the doc's office right now getting his results during chemo. Not sure how things will go.

    My fingers are crossed, and will cross some fingers for you as well.

  • Cancer sucks. But when it gets removed (hopefully), it is awesome. Recovery starts today
