Yesterday morning was one of the toughest days of my life . As some of you may know . 4 years ago i had to quit my job ( truck driver for 27 years ) and move my mother in with my family , to be her care giver 24/7 . For the last 4 years i have watched my mother decline from 135 lbs to 90 lbs , she is 5'11'' . She has bad dementia . Well yesterday i had them ( hospice ) check her for a bladder infection and it proved positive . The Dr said that it would be a good way to let her go and asked if i wanted to treat her . With tears going down my face and looking at my mother, ( all skin and bones) and smiling at me ( dang i wish she had not been smiling at me ) i said no we should not treat her , so i now get to watch her die in the next 10 days to ??? , I know it the best thing for her , she's is in no pain and they gave me Meds to make her bladder numb . This really sucks !! Watching and helping your parents die is a tough one . My dad died from ALS just before my mother came down with dementia so i have been down this road before . Very sorry if i have come across RUDE or cranky in the last few days or even the last few years .
Sorry again ,
