The Long ride Home.

How do you tell someone you love they can't go home again? They can't just get in their car and take ride, they can't cook a good meal, go shopping or watch the sunset at their favorite beach? How do you tell someone you love they can't have their puppy with them? They can't travel or eat the things they enjoy but aren't good for them? How do to you tell someone you love that their life will never be the same? They can't just call you because they forget your number or how to dial the phone? I had to.

July 2, my mom will be 69 years young.

It's didn't work...They don't know what's causing all her problems.

Almost a year ago my mom went into the hospital for a jump start on her heart as it was out of rhythm. She went for this procedure a total of 4 times. Each time the doctor saying it will work this time. The last time they also wanted to do an obliteration, a burning off of the arteries that we not working. (If I am understanding it correctly.) They also said a pacemaker would help jump start her if her heart failed. When they went inside her chest to the heart the doctor stated that the artery he needed was not where it should be and he had to move her heart around to find it. My mom was under anesthesia three times longer than she should have been. She has never been the same.

I kept telling her doctors that my mom was not herself. They kept assuring me it would take time. It didn't. Everyone downplayed my moms condition.

It finally got to the point that my mom could not walk, feed herself, bath etc. Home health nurse, bless his heart, on his second visit rushed my mom to the hospital as she was not responding to him.

The neurologist figured out from her symptoms that she had water on the brain but didn't know what was causing it. They felt that by doing the lumbar puncture and relieving some of the spinal fluid off that she would regain her strength and slowly her memory.

It didn't work.

Thanks for your prayers and well wishes.

My heart is breaking, that's my mom...

Did you say something to me?

Morning catch.

Thanks for all your prayers, they seem to be working because my mom seemed a little better yesterday. She smiled allot although I think she's very scared.

I got up early yesterday before visiting hours so I could shoot a little. It is certainly a good release. Or after hours I see if anything is out and about.

The nurses have been so super to her. When I can't visit with her because of visiting hours I'll call and talk to the nurses to check on her. They are so good about going and telling her everything. She is in a sort of icu. They call it a step down.

ps. I told her how everyone is praying for her and she had tears in her eyes.

They are having a hard time with her bp right now so keep your fingers crossed.

This little guys was on the front of my Aunt's house and reminding me of the hurdles I have overcome.

My mom in a facility now. She is peaceful but they don't really care for her as much as I had was told they would. I have to get her strong and take her back home. Once your older and have problems it seems no body cares.

Feeling mellow...in yellow.
Squirrel update. These two were tired as they just had an orgy up in my oak tree. Yep, that's right. I couldn't believe it either.
