slusher Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) My mother had her 3rd stroke three weeks ago. She had it on Saturday night told my brother not to call the ambulance and I called them when I found out the next day. By this time she could not talk. She was shipped from the hospital to a rehabilitation facility and back to the hospital for Pneumonia now she is going to a rehab and nursing care. When I see her I don’t see my mother in her mind as you talk to nor does my oldest brother. My middle brother seems to see things we don’t, and everyone knows for the most part I am very positive. She turned 86 in March and until she was 82 cut her hard since 1984 with a push mower unless I came and cut it with her ridding mower. She was afraid to ride a mower. She was 49 when my dad died and worked and took care of her grandsons when she wanted. Now I am so sad not to call her every day as I have for 20 years sometimes twice a day. Thursday I think is when I could not see her in her eyes. She is in The Lords hands. I am afraid I am going to lose her.. Edited July 20, 2020 by slusher
stitchdup Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 I'm very sorry you are having to go through this Carl. Its very hard to see someone you care deeply about in such a struggle. At the moment all you and your family can do is be there and support each other through this difficult time. My granny had the same thing happen to her so I sympathise dearly with you
Tom Geiger Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 So sorry to hear this my friend! My mother had Altzheimers and we dealt with her decline and eventual death for many years. I know the angst and emotions, I wish you and your family the very best!
bobthehobbyguy Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Carl so sorry to hear this. Both my parents have been gone for quite a while. My dad suffered with advanced parkinsons. My mother went quickly when she was diagnosed with muliple myeloma. I miss my parents everyday. I take comfort that they are in a better place.
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Try to stay strong. An end of physical being comes to us all, and is as natural as birth. But life can be very unkind, and it's up to each of us to deal with it as best we can. You have my sympathy.
Ramfins59 Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 My thoughts and prayers are with your Mother, and with you Carl.
1972coronet Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Me mum would be 87 if she was still here physically . She passed away on 4th October 2005 at 23:45 while I was holding her hand . I feel your pain and anguish . All the best to you and yours , my brother .

Dragline Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Sorry for this pass my friend. My Mums had a stroke 2 years ago and it was so bad she nearly went to the Lord. She cannot speak well and her right side is no longer functioning. So I get where you are. i call her almost every day and see her once a week since this whole mess happened. I used to go a few times a week but now it's a half hour once a week till further notice. Every day is a gift bro.

BIGTRUCK Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 I know its very hard Carl, we only get one mom that took care of us and wanted nothing in return , all we can do is hope for the best and pray . We are all with you.
Plowboy Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Prayers for your mom and family Carl. Strokes are a terrible thing to happen to a person. My father in law had one over a year ago. Been really tough on the whole family as he refuses to go to a nursing home and he's totally dependant. I hope your mother is able to recover and come back home. She kinda sounds like mine. My mother mowed and weed eated her yard until she was 83. I had to make her stop then.
Mike999 Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Condolences. Your Mom sounds like a strong woman and I hope she pulls thru.
