I am sorry to say that i will be spending Thanksgiving flying back home to TN as my step-mother (might as well e be my mom) has been placed in Critical Care Unit and is on a respirator.
She had triple bypass surgery a number of years ago and i could not even begin to tell you how many times she has been hospitalized since then, she has been trying to get Social Security for a long time now as obviously she needs it, my Dad is also disabled from an accident back in 85' and they have been living off his income and do not have a phone, tv etc...
She actually met with a judge today and he stated how he could'nt believe that she had not recieved SSI yet and that he would push it through immediately. She came home and said she was tired..my dad said she looked like she was ready to pass out while walking to the bedroom, he checked on her after awhile and asked her if she needed anythingm she told him she would like the fan turned on, so he turned it on for her and left the room.
He checked on her once again a time later and he said she looked like she had attempted to get up and slumped over on the bed, she was turning blue already and since they cannot afford a phone he rushed to the neigbours and some guy helped him, he tried to help pick her up but his back gave out (3 surgeries) and he fell and they got the ambulance to come get her and they took her to my old High School parking lot and care flighted her to another Hospital out of town.
My dad says she can move her arms and that the doctors say this is normal but they told him that they cannot give him any hope of survival and that she is possibly brain dead from lack mof oxygen to her brain.
My Dad is very upset and i have never heard him this way, it really hurts to hear him talk..he basically says that he cannot live without her and that he does'nt wanna live etc...
I don't mean to bring anybody down, please enjoy your families on this holiday and if you can possibly take a few seconds out of your day and say a prayer not for me but for my father, i do fear he will take this hard, they were meant to be...he had 2 bad marriages and found his true love and then this happens, it seems sometimes life is'nt fair..so many evil people in this world and it seems the good people suffer...
I will fly out tommorow.....
Enjoy the holiday's bro's & Sis's :wg:
