Ok where do I start...
My Mum has had an chronic dieseise (sp) for about 12 years and it is getting worse. She has Lupus which affect the bodies auto-immune system and from what I understand the body basically attacks itself inside iykwim.
Last year in September she was put into hospital to have a blood transfusion and an iron transfusion and ended up in ICU for 2 weeks on a ventalator. Her partner of 18 years rang mr crying telling me to come down (they are in Victoria and I am in Queensland) which I did and I stayed for about 2 weeks. She came home from hospital and was sort of plodding along ok then in November her partner had to go to NZ (he is from there) to see his son.
After 4 days or so he stopped ringing Mum and when she rang his mobile it was constantly switched off. She found out that he had met a woman over there and was having an affair:mad: . He came home and told Mum that he was in love with this other woman (that he had known for a week) and that he wanted to move back to NZ to be with her. blah blah blah.
Anywho cut an extremley long story short:rolleyes: She moved from Shepparton to Mildura cause she had a friend who lived there since she has been there here illness has gotten progressivey worse, she has been in hospital 3 times in the last month all for like a week at a time and she is so depressed. She told me last week that she feels so sick and so dowm that she had been taking sleeping pills of a day to knock herself out because she just can't face the world anymore. I told her she cannot do this to herself and to get to the doctor and get some anti-deppresants which she has done.
Get a phone call this morning from her friend saying Mum is back in hospital her blood pressure is 215 over something? So I rang her and she sounded so sad and so sick and so sick of herself. I think I should fly down there but while it would maybe cheer her up whlie I am there it wouldn't actually do anything for her in the longterm. I just looked up interflora to see about sending her some flowers but that is sooo expensive.
Just feel stuck and don't know what to do and I am so worried and anxious all the time for her. There is heaps more I could say but I've dribbled on enough.:ecomcity: Thankyou for reading this I think I just needed to get it off my chest.
