My mother hasn't felt good for some time. Last week it got a bit worse. She is short of breath and keeps too much fluid in her whole body: esp. legs, but also behind her lungs. Her GP gave her pills to drain it off. He suspects the fluid behind her lungs comes from her heart, so he referred her to the cardiologist. In the meantime she can't go outside alone, take a shower alone, etc. So I run her errands, do her shopping and keep her company a lot. I live nearby and I don't mind. I just wish I could do more (like housekeeping things), but I lack the energy.
I'm worried though... She has a history of heart problems (5 bypasses, 2 serious coronaries) and is almost 70 (in February). She's still smoking way too much, but I've stopped commenting on that years ago. It's useless. I hope we'll be able to see the cardiologist soon.
If you can, please: light a candle, send some energy or just think of her. I'd appreciate everything anyone can do!
17.46u: I've made an appointment for January 11.

I will pray for your mother as well. I hope things work out well, and may the Goddess smile on you both.
ReplyDeleteHeel veel sterkte Tink, aan zowel jou, jouw moeder, als je familie.

Sincere thanks to all of you! I'll keep you posted.
ReplyDeleteHoe gaat het inmiddels met je moeder, Tink?
ReplyDeleteLief dat je het vraagt! Ik heb vanmiddag een update gepost. Voorlopig is het even afwachten tot we naar de cardioloog zijn geweest.
