I still have a hundred things to read.

My mom is at the doctor's, seeing my doctor, actually, because she doesn't have one, and I hope she doesn't lie to them or omit anything. She's really unhealthy and wrecked. She's massively depressed and has gastrointestinal bleeding and isn't getting any help. She keeps insisting that they won't do anything for her except think that she's crazy and tell her that everything is in her head. I personally think that they will probably put her on an antidepressant and something for her stomach, test her for thyroid malfunction and an ulcer, and so on.

One of her cats threw up on my issue of Animerica Extra that I bought last night, the only thing I've bought with my birthday money so far. Right on Utena's face, can you imagine? So not cool.

There are some rumblings with a pension that she is supposed to get from the VA, that they may decide she doesn't need it, and refuse to give it to her, and if that happens we will have to sell the house, and probably won't be able to get a dog. This is depressing. But I guess we'll wait and see.

Oh no! I hope it all works out. It will. It HAS to!

well, the good news is that my mom is still talking to the dr (actually the nurse practitioner who joined the dr in practice and is at least as good anyway). which means that neither party is blowing the other off.

there will be no word on the rest for a few weeks, i think...

fingers x'd on the pension etc. and hopefully your mom will be ok. I think the biggest hurdle (as you yourself pointed out) was getting her to actually SEEK medical treatment!
