Pray for me please
She got sick outta nowhere with nephrotic syndrome and kidney issues from a bad blood test. We thought we had it under control, then she nearly dies from spleen surgery needing lots of blood. Now her liver can't handle IV fluids causing arm problems and infections. She's choking too but thought it was just thyroid stuff. Two days ago they found possible esophageal cancer on a PET scan even though the last one showed nothing wrong. The doc didnn't say do a bone marrow biopsy, we assumed it was optional. Now we gotta wait for that result before her oncologist consult and endoscopy. It's a total mess. Telling people what's going on just gets them comparing their own crap so I stop halfway through anyway.

Hey three! Honestly, our minds are super powerful tools, right? It's crazy how muhc they can do. So, why not give yourself a pep talk every once in a while? Like, "I feel strong and healthy" or "My body is perfect." Just see where that takes you. Seriously, it might work wonders.
Good night and sweet dreams!
No one gets it. My life's a mess, and I have to justify my feelings all over again
Ah, sorry to hear that. Take care of yourself-thanks!
I wasn't here when your mother was struggling with nephrotic syndrome, which caused severe swelling from IV fluids and continuous pus and blood leakage. For months, I had to clean her up, change bandages that kept falling off, and try to keep her calm as she nearly lost her life in the hospital. People often tell me to be strong, but it's becoming increasingly frustrating because they don't truly understand what I've been through.
I think this might be the wrong place for what I'm looking for. I was trying to find some grief support, but couldn't really locate anything like that. I guess I'm just looking to vent a bit-I don't have anxiety about it or anything-it's just hard to know where to do that here. Maybe someone knows of any grief support groups?
I attempted to edit my post to clarify that she is my mother, but the platform wouldn't allow me to make that change. Living with her every day means this situation isn't just about occasional visits; it affects me 24 housr a day, seven days a week, except when I'm at work. She was once very vibrant and active, happy six months ago. This all began after a random blood test came back badly. We thought we could address the issues and move on, but further tests have brought more results and more waiting. The situation seems to worsen as time goes by. With doctors, this is often how it works. People can tell me to be strong, but I'm not made of stone-I have feelings.
