12/3 Alex BDPS 211,+4.25-88

[Caryl & Sebastian & Alex (GA)]

Alex is fine today. He has his purry pants on and is ready for the weekend.Jackson too.
I start a new job on Monday working from home. The money is not good but ...well I'm working and can look and take care of my cats and be close by....anything.

My mom was told she has lung cancer yesterday while in the hospital for a compressed fracture of the spine.
She has been *immobile* for a while-she's broken both hips in the last 4 years- and her QOL has sucked. She has decided she doesn't want any treatment for the lung cancer. to go through torture to go back to a sucky life for who knows how long...?
I can't say I blame her, I mean I see her point...but on the other hand, it's my mom. :cry: I am heartbroken.

When does it stop? When does the pain stop? I don't know if I can do this. respect her wishes thing

I didn't mean to write this here but it seems to help me understand how she feels the more I write it and I'm not a person that posts these things on Facebook. It's not meant for sympathy and please, that's not what I'm looking for because I don't even know the details yet. I just needed a friendly place to vent. Although I have to admit that I have been checking my boys every hour to make sure they are ok

Alex and Jackson had a big breffis, all p's are in order and they are both taking their morning naps.

I'm hoping that your mom will change her mind about the treatments, Caryl. *HUGS* Despite the fact that we move away from our parents, in a way, we still need them, even for advice if anything, or an ear to listen to us rant. I know that I need my Mom on occasion. I'll be sending tons of prayers, and will be keeping you in my thoughts, too. (I hope this doesn't sound sympathy-ish to you, because it really wasn't meant to be).

I wish that your lil boys will have good #'s today, and for many days to come!

Very nice start today for Alex - I love amps like that. very coll that he feels good. Good luck with the new job. It is ncie you can work from home, take care of your furbabies, etc, even when the pay isn't the best. It is nice to be there 24/7 for them.

I am sorry about your mom - and understand too about respecting her wishes. My mom was an ALS patient, and I had to do the same for her. It's tough. I wish you well with it all.

Thanks Angela..she won't change her mind. I get it. I really do. She can't walk and has no real life. why would she put herself through all of the stuff that comes with chemo to end up in a nursing home for who knows how long? You just nailed everything btw. I talk to my mom every day. it's always been that way
