The Doctor and my Mother

I sat today at the neurologist with my Mother on Valentines Day. She has rapidly been  deteriorating in the last 2 mos. Several falls, emergency room visits, 3 weeks without uttering a word, and now when she does speak she has "thought blockage" (She will start and not finish talking or just can't get it out at all!). We now have her in a walker and has full time care. I need to find out what may be medicine induced or what may be a potential problem. Now you would have to think that my mom is very elderly but she has just turned 67 years old! I will have to input that my mom also has been on medication for an imbalance for 37 years. Most of my life! I looked at her today and wonder why does this happen to people in a family and not others? Her mother, my Nana is going to be 96 this year and still lives on her own. Everyone else on that side of the family have strong personalities and mostly healthy lives. I also have the strong outlook on life and strive to be as healthy as I can be. Thank you, God for all my blessings!! My mom lead mostly a full life until almost the age of 30. She was kind, soft spoken, and had a gentleness about her that people commented on. Then she got sick and her life was never the same. On one hand it is so frustrating and you just want to shake her and say "Do you not see all the life you are missing and have missed!" and then you just want to hug her and say "I'm sorry you missed so much".

"Mom even though you do not know what day this is and may not remember tomorrow we enjoyed today together ......Happy Valentine's Day...With all my heart....your daughter, Laura Lea"
