I just want to add my sympathies for all that people are going through on this thread. I'd be really upset, too.
Everything seemed so quiet yesterday!

"So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key..."
Brooke, let me add my best wishes to you also. Parents can be difficult and I totally understand the not trusting them to tell you the truth. We went thru that 2 1/2 years ago with my Mom and she almost died then and I thought she had learned her lesson. Unfortunately, she didn't and that is ultimately what caused her illness in August that she passed away from. She waited to long to see the doctor, kept telling us for a week that she was fine and feeling better when in fact, she wasn't. I wish you luck & patience and hope everything goes well for ALL of you!!!

Brooke, may I add my good wishes for your mom & her health. I totally understand. Though the issues were different, I had similar problems with my dad. According to him, he was always fine. I think he didn't want me to worry about him. It would be good to have her stay with you, so you can watch her.
I didn't have that option as we lived in different states. Have patience & hang in there!
Good luck, Brooke. I'll send good thoughts your way.
Brooke, best wishes for you and your Mom!

Hang in there, Brooke.

Brooke, all strength to you. It's not easy when your mom is headstrong and generally doesn't look after herself. I feel for you. I hope everything goes well with your mom and that your positive energy will rub off on her.
I've got a peaceful, easy feeling
And I know Glenn won't let me down
Thanks everyone for all the kind words. It helps a lot.
Mom was pretty upset and depressed after our meeting with the doctor, but I think she has resigned herself to the fact that she will have to go along with us and let us help her. My older brother went to the appointment with us and my sister is willing to help out too, so with all of us working together, I think we can handle whatever comes. She is coming home with me after work tonight and we'll get started on her treatment. Hopefully it will go smoothly. Yeah, I keep telling myself 'patience'.

It's great that all of you are pulling together to help your mom through this. It can't be easy. Prayers and best wishes going out to your family.
Austin, your offer is generous, but I can't even log in. It looks like the shop is the only solution. I just pray that can fix both my desktop and laptop.
