Hey,
I was checking in to see how you all was. Has any one on here has lived with your Mom and see changes in her-rembering-repeeting things and seeing her go down hill? I think one bad place is she notice it her self. Now she has too many red blood cells and has to go to the Hospital and have blood taken out of her. It just washes her right out like a lemp dish rag. She has to go Monday. Then she has to see the Dr. on tuesday.
the Dr. told my Mom she has 5 to 7 years if she takes good care of her self. The red blood cells change in to Loukemia.(mispelled)The Dr. she has is a back door Dr. Personaly I don't care for him.Meaning he is a100%jurk. I love my Mom very much. Its hard seeing these changes. I know other people have gone through this. You know if I had 6 wishes i would wish for 1.every one would have food 2.every one would have drinks and every 3.one would be happy and 4.us GLBT people would be exsepted and 5. everyone would know they are loved. 6. no one would be sick.
A gal we use to have here as a fresh air kid she emailed me today and said she should come up to see every one befor any one passes away. The last time she said that she came up and the next day after she left my Dad died.
(Mom has been saying she will not be here next year. She has said this befor I ever got this email from her.) I know I "talk " alot on here but,I really don't have any one to talk to about things. My Mom has had one heck of a life-her Mom died when she was 7 years old. My Mom dad was a drunk and she marryed a drunk-my Dad. She has worked all of her life. He would beat her and so on. I wish I could make the remander of Moms life a happy one. I don't cry around her. I walk off to some othere room or go out side and yell at God.
There are many things I just don't understand.
Thanks my friends for reading this. I hope this dosen't bring any one down. I do care about the people here.

Hey blue... I live with my mom now. She is 72. Doing quite well for 72 but the signs that things are happening are there. I see it in her eyes when she knows. For now she has a boyfriend she goes to see 2x's a week, does volunteer work and keeps the house clean and the leaves raked and the lawn mowed (try to stop her and she kill you with her eyes.)

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

I see it in my Moms eyes the pain she has and she knows she might not be here. Her Dr. has ordered her a walker with wheels and co2 at night and during the day when she needs it. Ruthie,I know how hard it is to see a love one go down hill. Its heart renching.

To everyone have a very Merry Christmass and a blessed 2012

We still have my grandaughter with us.We have decided to get gardianship. Have all the paperwork, and a lawyer. Crazy thing is her mom wants her to come back and be put into a foster home. We spent Christmas in Washington Dc with my patners family, it was wonderful having the girl with us. My partner said, "I feel like this is the first time I am bringing "my family" home for Christmas.
