[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Well, it's rough. In fact, I almost DID give up that last Sunday. I mean, there she was staring at nothing, totally unresponsive, and I'm like "what if she STAYS like that?" I don't know that I could have handled that AND stayed sane. I thank whatever Gods there are that she didn't. When I came in the next day, and she recognized me, I cried. I spent most of my life repressing emotions. I didn't even cry when my grandmother, my favorite person ever, passed. But I cried then. It felt good. They're letting her go now. I'm taking her home tomorrow. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] The upshot is, while in the hospital for all this, she also went off of some of her medicines (including Fioricet (sp?) which is a kind of narcotic for pain, and was the biggest cause of problems with her doctors), and discovered how some of them were actually hampering her health rather than aiding it. She's also off Adavan (a anxiety medicine) and now on Prozac (which her doctor assured me is not as bad as sensationalist TV makes it out to be) and is more cheerful than I've seen her in a LONG while, despite the fact that she still hurts. So it's not all bad. How does my dad feel? Well, he's kind of stuck in the middle between my mother and me. He's a moderating influence, at least I can discuss things calmly with him.. when I'm not already too angry. But to be honest, he doubts my ability to care for someone else as well... and he does have somewhat of a point, given some of my past history. Bit this is more different that either of them have realized yet. I'M different than I was. Oh, Inspiring songs, eh? If you can, get ahold of a copy of Linda Eder's "Children of Eve." It's not so much inspiring as... emotionally provoking, but I'd reccomend it to anyone. (two excerpts) All the Children of Eve sleeping somewhere tonight Dream of days when the shadows are gone All the Children of Eve say a prayer every night, Praying there'll be no Dragons at dawn... Not all Children of Eve sleep in peace every night, Not all nightmares are over by dawn, When the Children of Eve become Dragons and fight, Then the whole vicious circle goes on... [/QB][/QUOTE]
