The Mom saga continues. Since I need to manage her house and bills. I discovered a text document on her computer. She has known for 4 years that she had major health problems. 4 years ago her Doctor, who is mine as well, diagnosed her with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and abnormal ekg, as well as other things. She refused numerous prescriptions, and did not tell family. What has me angry right now is she is still DAILY telling us, doctors, and anyone who will listen that she had no health issues, no knowledge of issues, and still believes they are wrong about all of this in the hospital. It's frustrating, and rather sad. This is the outcome of those so against doctors, that they ignore diagnosis, and refuse treatment. I do understand not trusting doctors, but sometimes you have to realize, blood tests CAN alert you to health issues that can be treated. When ignored, you might wind up in emergency surgery and freaking rare complications like being paralyzed!!

Today I am taking out my frustrations on house cleaning not touched for nearly 3 weeks. Angry cleaning is always so productive. lol. She is out of ICU, so I did not go to hospital first thing this morning.

I am trying to find the patience, and path to dealing with this on a personal level with her. Do I continue to let her think we know nothing? Do I continue to let her lie to us, and herself? Do I stop babying her and make her deal with some of this reality? (obviously when she is further out of this health scare)

I just am not sure how to feel. I am angry and sad.

Sheesh Tangy, this is tough. On top of everything that is currently going on. :\

For her sake, once this current scare is under control, I would let her know that you saw the documents. Maybe her knowing that you know and that she cannot deny it will somehow make a difference and she'll be more open to treatment. Especially so that she won't have another scare like this one.

You're in a tough spot. I will definitely keep both your mom and you in my prayers. And please don't hesitate to vent here. Ever.

hugs
