yeah, my mom has it as well. And she is bad off. I live here with them since leaving the ex and I see how she "exsists". She has all but given up. She can't gain weight and is down to 97-98 pounds. She still smokes, but only because she knows she won't be around much longer and the doctors have all told her todo as she pleases, as long as she is happy. She is on 3 liters of 0xygen ever hour. She is constantly coughing or wheezing. She has little to no energy but she refuses to rest. She cooks and cleans and heaven forbid if you get in her way to help!! She will cuss you and move you outta the way.She is mule headed, but that is the only thing that really keeps her going. At this point in the game, if she were to climb in bed and give up 100%, she would be dead next week.
So, yeah, I know what you are going through. If ya ever wanna talk about it or just vent about it, feel free to holla at me anytime!!!
