Bio

Well I joined in June, because I was taking care of my mom and had been livng with her almost a year. When I started it was tough, she was demanding and she kept telling me she was going to die soon. At the beginning of this year, I told her I didn't want to hear that anymore and she listened, she didn't talk about dying, and she actually seemed to be getting a litle better health wise. Before she never wanted to leave the house and she only wanted to stay in her pajamas. But I kept coaxing and being patient and then around March we started getting dressed and going out to shop, also out to eat, at least 1 if not 2 times a week. I was so proud, and didn't even mind that I had to push her in a wheel chair all around the mall. But it's sad to share that July 7 I lost my mom and my dear friend!!! She woke up that morning and told me she wasn't feling well, I called an ambulance and short time later she had a massive stroke and died that evening. I miss her terribly!!!! We had finally gotten close and was even planning a trip for this September. Now someone up there must think I have some pretty strong shoulders, because now my husband, (only 49) has had a light stroke and yesterday he had to have bypass surgery on his leg for 100% blockage and he also has diabetes. So now I'm taking care of my sweetie. I told him he had better not go anywhere!!! Just to get better!!! Sorry if I rattled too much, but I needed to share or vent a little. Thanks for listening.
