Hell

[days_unfolding]

My mom is having health problems. The chemo is suppressing her white cell count, and it's wiping her out. And they've discovered that she has bad arthritis in her neck. Think good thoughts for her, will you? To say I'm worried is an understatement. I wish that I lived closer.

Among other things, it's up in the air when she'll feel well enough to come down here, and I don't know how exactly I'll be able to go up there if I'm making Harlee's food from scratch. So we're playing everything by ear. As John Lennon said, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans...."

She has a blood abnormality that can be a precursor to leukemia, but isn't always. The doctor recommended chemo to keep the abnormality from advancing. And she's having problems with side effects.

Chemo is the worst. I absolutely HATED it. The side effects were horrible. Every time I started to get over the effects, they'd give me another treatment. Big hugs to your mom for having to endure that
