Staring at Dirt

I dropped by to see my mom and dad today and things with my mom have taken a bad turn.  After I spoke with my mom on Sunday she became even more confused.  My dad was at a loss as to what to do so he called a good friend of the family who is a Registered Nurse.  When she looked her over my mom was asking "who the boy was with the gun". They took her to the hospital where they did fuck all for her and sent her home.  (Incidentally, the last time she was there they were going to send her home and she ended up having an emergency colostomy and then given 2 - 3 months to live.  She has shit coming out of her vagina!  Is that not reason enough to admit someone?)  Anyway, she was sent home even though she was acting all screwy. She is getting a CT scan tomorrow.  I am hoping that the medication is causing all this confusion but of course the worst case is the cancer is now in her brain.  


So yeah.  Fuck.  Fuckity, fuck, fuck, fuck. 

In other news it is finally warming up here after the worst Spring in history.  My cat thinks he is dying because he is hot and has all that fur.  He is laying in front of the fan right now all stretched out.  Hold on, I will take a picture. 
See, I just took this picture.  I love technology! PS - This is where I blog. Snoopers of the World  snoop away!  Not very interesting. Just my laptop, cordless phone and cellphone. 
Actually, here are two more pictures of Norbert.  I planted some Sweet Peas yesterday and Norbert stared at the dirt the entire time.  What's up with that? 
Stare

More Staring.  I love this cat so much.  He makes me laugh every day.  He is mean and hateful but look at him!  


So yeah.  That is my life in the last two days.  A over-heated lazy cat. And my mom.

    I'm sorry Birdie. I wouldn't be surprised if it is brain mets. Sending a hug.

    I'm reading an excellent book right now, "The Five Things We Cannot Change" by David Richo. You might like it, especially right now. Take care.

  7. I hate Cancer! It took my sister, clutched onto/into my mom and now I heard it has a hold on my uncle too. I'm telling it to take a hike.

    Your reaction is totally justified.

  8. Birdie...so sorry about your mom. Cancer runs rampant on my father's side of the family. He's had prostate cancer three times and now just "lives" with it....

    On a brighter note...your cat looks like mine! He is soooo cute!

    Hugs xx

  9. I'm so sorry for you, for your mom, for your dad. I hate this for you. Heart wrenching.

    I am an only child. My mother burned so many bridges in her lifetime that I was the only one here to watch her die when her time came, nobody else would be bothered. It was exhausting and tore parts of me out that I never even knew existed.

    I'm so sorry.
