Sorry...I have to open up

FinalEyes...thank you so so much for your prayers and support.It means more than i can describe.HUGS

movingcoolcat...thank you for caring.Yes i try the best i can to help my mother because she is the person i love the most in this world.I know i can't solve everything or even make her healthier,but it really makes me feel sad and frustrated because if i could,i would change places with her.She used to be so active,so loved by everybody she worked with....
HUGS
 
My friends,i am really sorry to be disturbing,but if i don't say how i am feeling,i explode.

Since early morning my mom wake up with one eye red,and during all the afternoon it has been becoming more red.(right now here it's 10.05pm).
I tried several times to convince my mom to go to the hospital but she never heard me.
I mentioned i would talk to my family docotor,she said,she wouldn't do a thing doctor would say.
I asked my brother for help to convince her to go to the hospital,she said no,and my brother gave up.
Right now i am alone with my mother and i am scared to death of what it can happen during the night.
Her eye is very very red,seems a bit closed,but because it is sunday,and she is not in pain(so she says),she refuses to go to the hospital.
I am so scared something happens during the night.
She keeps saying that she will not do anything any doctor says,if i call for one.
I feel that i should force her to go to the hospital...but what if she gets too nervous and her aneurym bursts?i would never forgive myself for it
What would you,my friends,do in my place?
At this point i have no idea what to do!...
Thank you so much for your help
 
This is one of those difficult situations that comes when a person we love do something we know is not rational. You can not force her to go to hospital if she refuse to. Unless you think she is unable to make decisions, in witch case you need to act. But if you do, she may become angry, and upset. I don`t know how bad the situation with her eye is. Can you call someone that has any medical expertice? PM Linda on this forum?
A very simple soothing treatment for an irritated eye is a cold cloth over the eyes, that lessen the swelling. As well you can use chamomille tea ( boil tea and soak the cloth in it, and put it over her eyes). Maybe that can help a little bit?

But most of all I hope you try to tell yourself that even if you love your mother, even if you do all you can to help her- at some point you also have to remember that she is her own person. People that become ill sometimes end up becoming so angry and frustrated with their situation that they unleash their anger towards those that love them. That is not your foult, and not hers either. In some ways her reaction may be a way to feel some control, saying that she don`t want any doctors. In that case, maybe its best to let her have that reaction, and wait a bit and see what happens. Even if the worst thing is to sit still and do nothing.
I hope for the best:better:
Take care- but do remember that one person can not fix everything. And sometimes, we have to respect a persons wish even if we see that its not the best choice.
 
Maria, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your mum.
You have been so strong. I hope you are getting the support you really need right now from the rest of your family. You can't deal with this alone,
I feel for you right now. I wish you all the best. xxx

I can only say Maria, that you should wait to see that your mother's anger dies down first before you do anything, then you can go from there, I'm sorry that your mother feels that way. All I can do for you & your family is pray. I hope things will get better for all of you. :flowers:
 
movingcoolcat...Thank you so much for your post.Everything you say is so true!Unffortunately my mother is very stubborn,and like you say,i have to respect her wishes even if i don't agree with them.Scared as hell,that is what i am doing.

Cass,my dear friend,i called my family doctor without my mom knowing.I talked with her for a long time and she made me feel much better.She is a bless i have in my life.If it wasn't her,i don't know how i would be in a long time now.

blue_eyed_belle ,HUGS i never wanted to make anyone cry.I'm sorry to make you feel like that.Your post touched me way deep you know?Thank you so much for your prayers.it means a lot to me,as i know and feel that it is all the prayers from everybody here that are helping the most.

silverfox...The support i am having is from everybody here,from my family doctor,and a few friends near me.But i prefer the friends i have,than lots of people with me pretending to care.

Today her eye didn't seem as red as yesterday.Wish i could understand what is going on,but...Guess i must go on praying and having faith.
Thank you all so much for your care

Dearest Maria, I wish I could say something that would make everything better for you but be assured my thoughts and prayers are constantly with you and your mother....I hope so much that she is soon feeling better. This has been so hard for you for such a long time, you have been so strong and very brave.
Huge HUGS to you Maria, take care a keep strong.

LindaC781...what a lovely poem...and how wise!Thank you so so much for your care,love,thoughts,prayers and support.It means so much to have you in my life.HUGS


Janey...what a lovely post.Your words touched me so deep.I can't thank you enough.Lots of loveto you too in my name and in my mothers as well.HUGS
 
Maria, I'm so sorry to have missed this thread for such a long time. I guess I now know why I was drawn to check this part of the forum.

From personal experience, I can sympathize with you about what you're going through. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

I don't know how things in your life are going now, but I do pray that they are better and will get better. Your mother must be a good person and you're an awesome daughter for putting your life on hold. I wish there were more love like this in the world between children and their parents, butt here isn't, which makes your story all the more touching.

God Bless you both and I will be praying for you... You will get through this and so will she. Keep The Faith and never stop believing. If you need or want ANYthing at all, please message me, OK?

I love you.

Cassandra

Michaholic...Thank you so much for your prayers and support.
As you so well say,my mom is a good person.In fact,she is an amazing person that fought all her live to make her children be someone.
Yes i agree that there should be more love between parents and children.It is the most beautiful bond we can have,the love i feel for my mother is so strong and unconditional,that i would do anything to save her.
My life now does not resemble to what it used to be before my mom beomes sick.In 2006,before june,i was working and saving money to go to USA and be with my boyfriend.
Then on the 23rd of june,stain john's night,my mom was fighting for her life in a ICU,and i was praying that she would make it,because i couldn't see myself without her.
For 15 days she was fighting death.On my birthday,in july,i was allowed to go to ICU and be with her,because she kept calling for me.It was a day to forget.But one thing that gave me strengh,was turning 33 back them and thinking about Jesus.he died with 33 years old,and i was going to the worst momento of my life at 33.I remember i spent most of the time praying.But My mother only came home in August and with lots of problems.She can't walk for herself,she has double vision,and even her behaviour is affected.There only 2 things we could do...either my mom would go to home,or i would quit my job to take care of her.I quit my job to take care of her,and since then untill now,it has been lots of ups and downs,i was weak lots of times,i needed help several times,but there's not a moment i regret and i would do all again if needed.
In the end of 2008,i found this part time job as a english teacher that i love,and thank God i can save a bit of money.I only work 2 days a week.But those 2 days,are my best theraphy.
(of course in the mean time,i take care of my mother 24/7.).
Hopefully in the end of this year i will be able to go to see my boyfriend.But of course it will all depend on my mom's health.
Thank you so so much for caring,and offering help.
Believe me...it is because of tthe people in this forum,that i can still have faith,that i can still have strengh.You all here care and support much more,than my real family.
All my love
Maria.HUGS
 
And tomorrow will be a very stressfull day...


My mom will make exams to her thiroid and her heart.She is very anxious and nervous.
Lately she has been feeling very tired without doing anything,and she is also having more problems to sleep than usual.
I guess she is hoping for the same as me...that this time something can be done to help her?...

i will let you all know when i know.

Thank you all for everything!

God bless
 
I hope so much that you have some good news for your mother tomorrow.
I wish you both well, big HUGS xx

Don't thank me for caring, as it is no favor, my dear. Good people like you and your Mom don't deserve the hardships you're experiencing. It's such a shame you must go through this at the tender age of 33. It's just so sad, but unfortunately, you must go through this to shape who you are as a person.

I went through the same thing with my Grandmom and Pop Pop... And now my Mom is very ill... She spends most of the day sitting or sleeping. :( She just can't move without crying... She's been wanting to kill herself, but I don't let her be alone to do it... I lose so many nights of sleep sitting next to her while she sleeps, making sure she's still breathing... I know what you're going through... This is my third time, but for my Mom, there's a bit more hope. I know what she's going through isn't quite the same, but it's comparible, so I especially feel closer to you, sweetheart.

Hang in there. :better:You will see your boyfriend again. If he truly cares about you, he'll wait an eternity for you.
And tomorrow will be a very stressfull day...


My mom will make exams to her thiroid and her heart.She is very anxious and nervous.

PLEASE update us immediately when you get online! I'll be praying once again. :angel:

My Mom has thyroid conditions, too. Those could be symptoms. Tyroid problems could be easily managed with medicine, so if it's that, you shouldn't have to worry much unless she doesn't take her pills. But you're a wonderful daughter and I'm sure she'll be just fine in your care. I do hope it's not her heart.
 
Michaholic...Even if i don't need to thank,i want to do it.
Yes you can relate very well...I spent time awake too in the begining when my mom came home.It's your third time,and my second.
9 years ago,i helped my mom caring for my grandmother.Even if it was different because me and my mother supported eachother,it was very hard as i was very close to her.
This time i have to do all by myself but i don't mind at all.
The results of the exams my mom made will come next friday,and hopefully i can make an appoitment for my family doctor after having them.
Can't wait to have the results and hope that this time there is something that can be done.

Can i ask what does your mother have?Please know that i am here for you if you need whatever ok?You and her are in my prayers and i truly wish you and her all the best.

My boyfriend is only one of the best human beings on the face of the earth.I am so fortunate to have him in my life...
My mom loves him a lot.and he loves my mother too.
If there's someone Amazing in this world,my boyfriend is one of those persons for sure.

Again...thank you so so much for everything.
Take care
God Bless.HUGS

Hey, sweetie. Well, than I'll say you're most welcome. :)

I'm glad we can relate to it and help each other through our tough time. I'll be adding you to my friends after this post, so be sure to accept me. ;)

My Mother has many things wrong with her... See, my Grandmother had Diabetes, heart failure, kidney failure, leg amputation... You name it and she had it, everything except cancer. She had died over 12 times due to her heart problems... She was literally a vegetable... My Grandfather had heart problems and all... He pretty much killed himself by drinking after my Grandmom passed away. My Mom has Fibromyalgia and lung problems... They thought she was getting heart problems and Diabetes. She has sleep apnea, so she has to sleep with a machine, but she's always so tired, she often falls asleep out in the living room without the machine... So I have to watch over her until she wakes up because she could stop breathing...

Life is too short to spend it worrying, but I'd rather be worrying about the people I love now rather than missing out on them because I didn't worry.

Luckily, my husband is also like your boyfriend... Extremely supportive and patient. I thank God every day for him being in my life.

You take care and PLEASE keep me updated with every step of the way. God Bless you and I'll talk to you soon! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
