Hi Karen, thanks for your message. My Mum came out of Hospital, but she's now bedridden, and very frail and weak, but more content now she's back in familiar surroundings. They suspect she may have Cancer in the Womb, and although they haven't been able to properly diagnose this- because Mum can't tolerate/cope with any tests- they've bought in the MacMillan Nurses for End of Life/Pallative Care.
How's things with you?
Love Maggs xx
Hi Karen, just wondering how you're doing?
My Mum is still in Hospital, she's not good, they're doing a lot of tests and that, but she's not coping well, she's gone downhill a lot.
What's that saying, 'it don't rain, but it pours', or as I like to say, 'it don't rain, but it pisses'!
How's things with you? Thinking of you,
Love Maggs xx
Love You too.........Maggs xx
Just read your Journal, and left a message, so sorry you're feeling so low.
Look after yourself, if you feel like staying in bed, than do that, be kind to yourself, and don't let others horrible comments affect you, i know that's easier said than done, but you need time, it will take time, take it easy. I'll be thinking of you xxx
Hi Karen, good to hear from you, how's work, hope you haven't gone back to soon!
How is your back?
Thinking of you, Maggs xx
both of my parents are in a nursing home, dad fell and broke a hip 3 years ago, my mom has psychetric problems and can't be left alone. i feel so guilty about not being able to care for them. I am an only child and all this is on my shoulders it sucks
I just suffer from depression, that's it!
when i was in grade school many years ago i was put on riitalin, this was before add and adhd even had a nome it waS BACK IN THE 1960"S so now as an older adult i'm on ritalin
been divorced since 1991, still good friends with ex but i don't want to have sex with him or anyone. am I weird?
my mom has staph mersa what is it
my ex and i are still friends but he is very emotional abusive. he thinks he's being funny but his words are very sarcastic and hurtful. when we were married he always called me a big fat bitch. no wonder I divorced him. so why are we still friends? i can't really answer that, other than I'm so afraid of being alone. he helps me out around the house, cutting grass small repairs dishes etc..... Oh well i'll just keep dealing with it, at least when I get mad at him I can send him home
my mother pass away
