First off, wow a MALE nutritionist? You don’t hear about that often in such a female dominated field
Those nurses sound awful It’s sad when you see that since they work in such a client driven area… I hope your mom continues to get better <3

I think it’s wonderful that you are there standing by your mother. Don’t worry, everything will happen for you in due time. I thought I would be living the life of my dreams by the age of 21, but I’m 25, and I’m still not there yet. Sometimes I grow impatient, but I know there are great things that lie ahead, I just have to be patient. A lot of the mistakes I made in the past were because I was in rush to do things on my own and I wasn’t ready for it.

I totally understand your frustration about some nurses. When my father was in a hospital in Gainsville, we ran into a few of those problems. He was overjoyed when was finally transferred to a Jacksonville hospital.

I want to applaud you for sticking with your mother and helping her out all these years. Some people, especially when hitting 21, would run off. I know you feel stressed and what to pursue your own dreams and live on your own.. who doesn’t at 21. You deserve that. Especially from all that you have done.

I was once in the same predicament as you are now. After my mother passed away, I continued to live with my grandmother for 6 years, until I finally moved out at the age of 23. I continued to live with her to help watch over my two younger siblings, to help my grandmother pay bills, and what not. I remember I wanted out sooo badly.. and once I finally did, I sometimes miss it. I miss that responsibility. I miss having to care for others.

But then again, I needed to get out and to be own my own. For whenever you feel like you can’t be the caretaker anymore, don’t let yourself believe that you are giving up on your mother. I know you will not make any decisions until you know your mother is being cared for. I again, applaud you, for being such a wonderful daughter. Your mother is quite the lucky woman! And you are quite the lucky daughter too.

I will keep you and your mother in my thoughts and prayers! I wish her a fast recovery.

I hate it when nurses don’t care about their patients. I’m so glad my mother still cares about hers even after all the years of toruture she has been through in the medical filled.

Those nurses can be real bitches. 0_0 Even to other nurses…

Eeep, that would suck to be allergic to latex.

I hope everything goes well with you and your mother. It sounds like such a stressful time but I’m glad you two have each other.

I really understand what you mean because all of my life I’ve taken care of my mom. She used to be far worse than what she is currently but now all she has is sleep apnea [among other controllable things] so I have to make sure [when I'm home] that she sleeps with her mask on but I used to have to drive her to the hospital, put pills in her mouth, fix her dinner and for awhile I felt like her mother. I hope your mom gets better. It sucks having to worry if your parent will get better or not. It really sucks when you have to do the role reversal.

I think you can take care of your mom and live your life as well by calling a lot and visiting. I know I bug my mom to death but if I don’t call she gets mad lol and you can send her care packages.

It’s your blog! It’s purpose is for you to get out what you’re thinking and feeling.
