Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2007Update on Mom (they have no clue)
They did a colonoscopy. Maybe bleeding polyps; they hadn't actually told her when I spoke with her. But they started her on some medications and she hopes she'll get to go home tomorrow. She's still bleeding to the point of having to wear adult diapers (doesn't sound that great to me, but a colonoscopy isn't exaclty a non-invasive procedure). She said she feels fine and ate a hearty breakfast and most of her lunch. YAY! She'll be fine; I'm convinced of it. But she doesn't want me to come down there. I'm being urged and urged and urged again by my brother, to the point I'm not answering the phone when he calls. Mom says a visit from me right now would agitate my father. He's very frail. And she's the one who has to deal with him. It's a bit like a soap opera. I'm adhering to my mom's wishes. Thanks for the good wishes. Keep up the purrs, please. Mom for the medication to work and for my dad to be a tad more cognizant. Jill > They did a colonoscopy. Maybe bleeding polyps; they hadn't actually told > her when I spoke with her.

I think I'm doing the right thing, too. Mom knows I'l be there the moment she needs me. I've offered many times over the last 10 years to move closer and I've reiterated it. I can be there to cook, shop, run errands, take them to appointments, whatever. She says "not yet". So I have to adhere by her wishes and I will. Jill Jill was she awake during the procedure. I has one done and was wide awake the doctor explained everything as she was doing it. I had bleeding polyps which were easily seen and the doctor talked to me about everything including the treatment which was laser surgery which she did on the spot. Of course I had to add a few comments to break the ice. Such as going where no man has gone before, Can you hear me know. Off course the doctor joined in and had me already blushing worse than sitting there exposed to the world. I had to get the last laugh in and asked well do I at least get a kiss I am glad she is doing better If they still can't find anything I would have them do a whole body scan you can get a virtual colonoscopy done that way > They did a colonoscopy.

Your brother and mother have effectively put you in a no win situation. That can be very painful and impossible to reconcile. Maybe you can get that across to your brother.

It's not our business and Mom wants him to butt out. Jill >> They did a colonoscopy. Maybe bleeding polyps; they hadn't actually >> told her when I spoke with her.

I think you're right to honor her wishes. It's too bad your brother is giving you such a bad time. Being caught in the middle is awful. Joy >> They did a colonoscopy.

(I obviously take after my dad!) But my brother has stopped calling me. Since Monday he'd been calling 3-4 times a day asking had I made plans to go there yet? I think Mom finally told him *firmly* to put a cork in it! LOL Jill >>> They did a colonoscopy. Maybe bleeding polyps; they hadn't actually >>> told her when I spoke with her.

They want something done they can't do themselves and they try to make it their mission in life to make it your mission in life. So they can guilt you later when it was their idea in the first place.

I had a problem with colitis some years ago that looked (and felt) very bad and was pretty frightening. With the right attention and medication, it was fixed right up and never recurred. Purrs that the colonoscopy is clear, and your relatives chill. Theresa > They did a colonoscopy. Maybe bleeding polyps; they hadn't actually told > her when I spoke with her.
