I haven't really had anything to say lately. Probably because I've been in such a funk regarding my Mother, that I haven't felt like saying or doing much. It was nice to have yesterday off so I didn't have to deal with going through the motions of work.
Mom was released from the hospital yesterday and is now staying with my sister because they indicated that she needed to be taken care of for a while. Her husband was in the emergency room a few days ago with the same thing, but was released that same day. They treated his dehydration. They don't want Mom around him for a few days in fear of her getting a set back.
I talked to her yesterday and she still sounds horribly weak. I can't seem to get a straight answer out of anybody as to how she's doing. They just say she's "ok". I feel like they're not telling me something or hiding the fact that things were far worse off then they lead me to believe. My family is notorious for hiding the truth to not make someone upset or over react.
I don't know. All I know is that I can't get her out of my mind.

I've never understood the rationale of "hiding the truth to not make someone upset or overreact." Why? So I can get even more upset when you finally have to tell me the truth? Makes zero sense.
Sending you good thoughts for your mom.
There's nothing worse than not being completely clear with people. it leads to nothing but trouble. And it's plan to see what it's doing to you. And that's not fair. i wish you better days ahead and health for your mom.
Sending good thoughts your way.
Your thoughts will always be with her... Keep up the good thoughts...and send them with all your love.
I know exactly how you're feeling Mark. I've been dealing with the same thing this past month with my own mom. Being far away and depending on information from siblings makes it even harder. I struggled over whether I should go home, then finally, went a couple of weeks ago so that I could at least see for myself. I'm glad I did. I just wish I could have stayed a little longer. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your mom, your whole family. I wish her a quick recovery to good health and I wish you, dear one, peace.
Mark, I hope your mom gets well soon. I had the same thing with my family. They did not even tell me my dad was in the hospital. Only thing to really make you feel better is to go see her. Or better yet web cam everyday.
