My mom’s still in the hospital
She was admitted into the hospital on Thursday. She needed a blood transfusion. They admitted her because her hemoglobin was so low. So far she’s stable and on Monday they are going to run test to see where the bleeding is in her GI tract. She has had a bleeding ulcer in the past. They recommended that she stay in the hospital so they can do the test on Monday. If she checks out then they could do the tests as an outpatient but who knows when they will be able to do it. If she stays it’s guaranteed it will be done Monday. The problem is she wants to go home now. If she goes home now it will be against medical advice. I do want her home but I know it’s better if she stays. Now she’s mad at me because I won’t demand she go home. She even told me to leave (I didn’t, I’m just taking a small break to eat something then I’m going back). Whenever she doesn’t get her way she throws a small temper tantrum and won’t speak to me. I know when I go back she won’t talk to me. She even told me to go to work on Monday (but it’s still kind of a new job and missing right now may not be ideal). The other part of the problem is I’m an only child, so it feels like it all falls on me. I’m estranged from most of my family and even if I wasn’t they really wouldn’t help. And those I do get along with I can’t tell because she won’t let me (she’s concerned they’ll tell everyone else). I don’t have any friends to talk to and I don’t have a boyfriend or anyone special I can lean on. I just feel really alone in this.
I had posted on Friday in regards to her being in the hospital and I wanted to thank those who commented sending their prayers. I truly appreciate it.
