View Full Version : My Mom

A few weeks ago my Mom was sick with a cold/Pneumonia and they did a chest xray and apparently saw a "spot" and wanted to repeat the xray after she was well. So she is well, they repeated it and the "spot" is still there so now they want her to have a high resolution CT scan of the lungs to determine what the spot is.

Sorry for the vagueness but that is how she is sharing it with me. This could be because that is how they are being with her or it could just be how she is choosing to be with me..not sure. Either way same nothing and same waiting game. She has to schedule the scan then we have to wait the two to three days for them to read the damn thing. God I freaking hate this system!

Yeah so this is killing me and we could really use all the positive energy you can spare about now. She lost both her siblings within the last two years. She is being very nonchalant about it but I know she is worried because she is trying very hard to quit smoking. Energy toward that goal is appreciated as well. Strength. Thanks. I mean that.

Energy sent to improve her health and your peace of mind.
About her wish to quit smoking. There are many methods and programs you could encourage her to try. Just taking that positive action in itself may give her a better sense of self control and a more positive attitude to her health.

So being sick with pneumonia could actually be a blessing because they caught this spot early. Sending energy for your mom to make the best choices in her health care and be healthy. Sending comforting, strengthening energies for you and your family. :hugz:

:hugz: lady...it's so hard, but just take it a day at a time till you know what--if anything--you're dealing with. I've been down this road before, sometimes it ends up a scaryass journey, other times, it's a minor bump in the road. Until you know, try not to borrow trouble.

Love and prayers coming your way,

As always thanks for the wishes and energy my friends. My mom has no insurance so the test will cost her $1840, half of which is due before the test can be scheduled. So she has to come up with a lot of cash to hear some potentially bad news. She hasn't been with her job long enough to qualify for their insurance and she is going to go Thursday and speak with someone at DHS and try to get assistance but the whole thing is just very disheartening.

She said she doesn't particularly want to know what it is anyway. She has cut down drastically on her smoking, cleaned her house completely of all ashtrays etc and only smoking outside and she has set a stop goal. I am glad about that but still very concerned and just very angry and really have no idea where to direct those feelings.

I appreciate your thoughts and energy. Please keep them coming because we can sure use them right now.

direct those energies versus the possible disease, semele

if the thoughts are toxic enough, to change your generally good mood to pissed, they might be also toxic enough to oppose the disease

Much love and energies being sent to you Mom, Semele, and all hopes for this to be a false alarm. My mom died from the effects of smoking, I pray that your Mom STOPS, right now.

I hate tobacco. In all its forms. Please call me if you need me to watch the kids or anything. You know where I am! Also, PM on the way.

Thoughts and prayers for you and your mom. Unfortunately coming from this line of work, they can't really tell her anything until after they do the CT, even then they might not know for sure and might have to do a biopsy or something. So here is hoping it is nothing bad, and that she succeedes in not smoking

Semele

The last news was that she hadn't had time to check into anything else yet because she was so busy with work. She is very positive and just not letting it bother her. She is going to go to DHS and fill out some paperwork on her next day off, but she is really more of the "don't tell me bad news because I don't want to hear it" mind set just now and I don't have the energy to argue her point.

So we are just keeping the positive thoughts and redirecting some of the anger in a more positive/healing direction, thanks to some help from my dear friend Czech. I appreciate all your continued support.
