Mommaries

Mommaries = Momma + Memories. My mother's a wonderful, incredible woman. On Tuesday, September 12, 2005 at 2AM, she was diagnosed as having cancer. Further testing revealed that she had lung cancer and it had metastasized to her brain, as well as possibly spreading to her liver and spine. but i don't want to completely dwell on the bad news - i want to use this weblog to record the experiences we're going through right now, as well as treasured memories and anything else that comes up...

People pleaser

i guess she's where i learned it from - we're both people pleasers, to a fault. don't mind me, i'm fine, don't worry about me. problem is, she's lying in that bed, grimacing in pain and there's not a damned thing i can do about it. we hit the call light for the nurse, and when she comes in mom tells her she's fine now, nothing's bothering her. dammit, i know that's not the truth, but she'd rather not be a bother even if it's the JOB of these people to do things for her to ease her pain.

her right side is useless - i suppose that's because tumors are on the left side of her brain? she can't move her arm, her hand, her leg, her foot - no matter how much she tries. she tells me it's the weirdest sensation, to be trying to move and it just won't happen.
