Just got home from visiting my mom

[FROGMAN]

My brothers and I had to check my mom in to hospital last night because her o2 levels were extremly low and her doctor tried to admit her but she decided against it. We had to collectively asure her that this was in her best interest and after talking with the doctor this evening if we had not she might have not been around much longer. I lost my dad three years ago and that totally sucked and I just couldn't imagine her not being around. Her o2 levels were 44 and normal is 80-100. She was basically suffocating to death and none of us even knew not to mention she wouldn't tell us of her conditions because she doesn't have full healthcare yet and didn't want to be a burden on her sons. This just makes me feel like a peice of sh*T for not seeing that she was so ill and that she felt like she was a burden me and my bros. I just feel so pissed and upset that she wouldn't tell us because she was worried about the hospital expenses. Fuk I'd rather pay a monthly bill than to pay for another funeral!

sorry bro...that sux's a$$...my dads the same way. he's on o2 fulltime. it took us MONTHS to get his skiiny a$$ to a doctor. he gets pnumonia every year and fights about going to the hospitial. bad part is, if he did something about it when it first sets in, he wouldnt have to fukin go!!! it's a weird thing when we have to become the parents of our parents...weird. i know my dad wont be around forever and i already dread the day...

goodluck bro...i know it's tuff on ya.

thanks guys it sucks, just got home and she is doing better but the doc told me she will be on 02 when she gets home. at least i got to see my bro from NC today. i went in her room and he was sitting in a chair. not the way you want to see him under the conditions but still he really lifted her spirits.

JUST DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOM. WHAT EVER IS IN HER BEST INTEREST. HOPE SHE IS DOING BETTER

^Exactly my thoughts. Don't worry about what ifs or whatever - just help your mother with what she needs, and help her get better.
