Happy Birthday Mom

[acstorfer]

It has really been a bad year. About a year ago my mother suffered a stroke during shoulder surgery. After that she was hospitalized for a severe colon infection. This is on top of severe heart attacks she had in her 40's. Anyway, last month she suffered a vaso vagel (not sure of the spelling?), she collapsed on the toilet due to a sudden drop in blood pressure. She was again hospitalized. During that time the hospital did some tests, gave her a transfusion and sent her on her way. It turned out that the tests revealed she now has leukemia. The doctor at the hospital decided not to mention it (the true definition of douchebaggary). After she was told, she had to go in for a bone marrow biopsy. We got the results a couple days ago. She's got two weeks to two months. It's a nightmare! Every night she's terrified to go to sleep, for fear of dying in her sleep. Every morning my father and I are terrified to get up, for fear she passed during the night. Next week we will all be going to New Jersey to celebrate my neice's Bat Mitzvah. Anyway, I KNOW she will not be coming home after that. I hope I am wrong!

Today is her birthday and it is very hard knowing it will be her last!

She will be going to moffitt, which is a cancer hospital in Tampa. So far everyone involved is sure there is no hope. I guess we will have to see. She's lead a good long life, although she has been in pain a long time. Also, with my sister overdosing a couple years ago, well when I say she had a good life, maybe I would be more correct in saying she had a horribly painful life. I feel horrible saying this, but I'm really just hoping she finds peace soon.

It's really difficult with this day by day sh*t!
