(13,418 posts)little house surrounded by her siblings since 1962. She'll NEVER leave. She won't smoke pot. I tried years ago. She's a Fundy Christian...but not that bad, only because she has me as her daughter who keeps her informed of THE TRUTH. She votes Dem.
Her memory is going. She probably has some form of dementia. She is recovering from a fractured pelvis (nothing can be done about that), stenosis (degenerative....no cure), and a fractured tail bone. She isn't very mobile but has improved from walker to cane. One more fall and she'll be done.
Otherwise, she is healthy. (I think). This is the first time she has ever been sick. I'm the one with the silly health problems and operations....typical ones...appendix, tonsils (but as an adult...OMG what pain), knee surgery (arthritis since a teen, but I take Glucosamine & I am fine), oh, and gallbladder removed. Oh...I was at the end of the line when Patience was handed out.
I'm filled w/ guilt about being so unhappy, but I'm not the 'homemaker/mother' type and my mom knows that and cuts me a lot of slack. I'm her only child out of 3 marriages and 3 divorces...I went through all of them. If she just weren't so damn Bible-bound. Those church people drive me insane and I tell her that....but again, her mind is like Swiss cheese....which we talk about as well.
It has always been her and me against the world...and I f*cking hate the rest of her family. My father is dead and he was an only child as well....so few relatives on that side left. And I'm just like my father...as far as attitude, humor, opinions...and I'm sure that bugs everyone on my mom's side of the family.
Too bad abortion wasn't safe and legal back in the '50's...honestly. Another boring, long story.
I should just make a run to Michigan...or ask the Police Captain where I could get some. I really think he'd understand...he told me to drink wine to get to sleep.
