Hi Anne: thanks for the hug and note....you will never know how much I needed both this week! Isn't it amazing how people, that we don't even know, can come to our rescue and bolster our spirit? Kind words go a loooong way...thanks for yours.

thanks for your comment on my post about boundaries

Anne 123:
Thank you for the supportive words you send another newbie. I am feeling pretty frantic at this point. My parents are starting the downhill slide and I can't get them to do anything. They are trying to maintain in their home. Dad is there mentally, but his body is going. My mom had broken her ankle 2 weeks ago and I had to take her to the doctor for pneumonia yesterday. Now the Doc wants to "explore" the spots on her lung and she refuses. Since they are competent for their own choices, I don't have input. However, they demand my help in carrying out their choices. I feel frustrated

Thank you for your notes of caring I really need it right now. If you don't mind me asking how long was it from when your Mom was told to when she passed? The reason why I ask is because my Mom does not want to do anything like kemo or anything like that.

THanks, Anne, you are a dear!

So, am I Anne. I feel so much better knowing that there a people out here like you that understand and that I can reach out to....I wish my extended family were so supportive. Have a wonderful weekend. Sunshine

Thanks - I needed that hug this morning and those words of encouragement! Make it a great day!

Thank you Anne for your prayers. The doctors have found out that her metral valve is leaking at a fast pace and they want to replace it but in her state of mind with the sundown sometimes she wants it and sometime very committed not to-she is afraid. My brothers and I are afraid to force her into this things could go wrong, but she will die within months if we don't, everything will start shutting down. We are praying for the right answer and we don't have a lot of time to decide, she is the hospital right now and they would do it this week.
We are so frustrated.

Hi there Anne,
appreciate the support for all of the right reasons. I am exceedingly uncomfortable with contention.
Seeking harmony,
