I have always known that life could hand a person anything at anytime... I was not prepared however, for what I was given last week...
After almost a year of memory that had continually gotten worse, strange behaiour, comments etc. my mother was diagnosed last week with a brain tumor. Initially it seemed as though she was in the early stages of alzheimers, after hearing what she told the drs and test results a very different story. She had been passing out, having seizures etc. but not telling anyone, in her state of mind, she didnt hink these things were all that important. My momma doesnt believe in going to drs, taking meds, thinks its a waste of time, even when she is in good form..LOL
My momma has always been a very independant persson, is a business woman never depended on anyone for anything much and now that she is in fact having to depend on others is not sitting well. She didnt even tell anyone in the family after she was put in the hospital because she didnt want anyone there. Nor does she realize that things will change after the tumor is removed...time will tell. She is too damned ornery to let anything get her in its grip too far LOL, but thats momma...
