Desperate for my Mother's Health
Hello All,
This thread is for my mom... she has had Multiple Sclerosis for over 25 years now. She is still walking with a cane, but it's not very far or long. In grocery stores and ones like it, she uses that little electric wheel chair thing that they provided. She has been strong (survived breast and thyroid cancer in the past 5 years) and has never let anything get her down.
Her pain has become so unmanagable. She goes to a pain specialists... she is on the highest level of methadone and opium that you can be on. Simple things like taking a bath have become a big deal to do any of them. She hasn't slept anywhere near a full hour in month due to this pain.
I am coming home tomorrow and have called my mom multiple times a day to do the count down. She has admitted to me that her health (since April) has dropped drastically, and I can hear it on the phone.
I just got of the phone with her to make sure that she knew my plane info and she was bawling because of it. She wanted to get off the phone because it was too hard to hold.
I'm scared. There's nothing that I can do except be an emotional support... but that's killing me. I'm an only child who lives half way across the country. I'm terrified and I don't know what to do.
Please send your prayers/good vibes, whatever you can do to help.
