My Mom and the doctor's appt.

[eightangryreindeer]

She answered my e-mail today.

He's sending her to a podiatrist for her foot/achilles issues.

blah blah blag dry vagina blah blah blah

He gave her four Ambien for their upcoming trip to Russia.

NO MENTION of the Aricept, or that she stopped taking it, or what the doctor said about it, or if he started her on something else for it.

So, I need to get alone with dad again and find out if this was a lie of omission, or if he really gave her nothing to replace the Aricept.

FUCK.

Sigh. I am so sorry. Are you going to have to try and get medical power of whatus?

[eightangryreindeer]

I don't know what I am going to do. I am going to have to reach out to a support group, I think.

Can you not just cut to the chase and mention it to her? I mean, rather than beat about the bush and hope she will tell you (which I don't think she will given what you mentioned yesterday), why not just ask her point blank.

I'm so sorry that you are going through this, it's such a shitty situation. And I think a support group is a great idea. Having other people to lean on who completely know what you are going through is huge.

I feel like I need guidance first, cleo.

I need to handle this correctly from go, I think.

[cleo29]

Good point. It honestly sounds like she needs someone there with her, and not your dad since he sounds like he is a softy when it comes to her (which is understandable) to really listen and mention things she leaves out. Hell, i could use this sometimes too.

I'm sending you a big hug and I hope I am not coming off as a bossy pants. You seem like a really good daughter to your parents.
