Is your mom better?

Unfortunately my mom lost her ability to walk with the walker and they had to do another spinal surgery on her a couple months ago. Although it seemed successful at first, she is still basically paralyzed. She can't move one leg at all and can barely move the other. She has been in medical facilities all this time.

Now for a bit of good news... I've had two different kidney operations on the same kidney since November 2020. I'm happy to report that the annual x-ray came back negative this time, so no surgery for me this go around.

i have issues, & i may rant & ramble at times.

i may have to have an unpleasant conversation with my mother in the near future; her 'furniture solution' to a chair she perceives as a problem, is itself a problem that contributes to my legs & feet swelling up like balloons.

My own health is not so good. I have been in the ER 3 times in as many weeks, and am in need of multiple surgeries in the immediate future. Getting these surgeries set up is proving problematic. I am not enthusiastic about outcomes either.

I am going to try to finish a few things before the first surgery. Sadly I have been and will be unable to clean up and share most of my D6 notes and Star Wars campaign notes as I had wanted because I can not locate the books containing them. Just some of so many things thrown into chaos and/or lost following my fathers death and my move.

I have not gotten much done in the last few days due to pain levels.

I'll be praying for you as well, KageRyu. Hoping everything goes well and that the pain goes away, too.

Things are not going well. I was essentially told when last in the ER about 3 weeks ago I was on borrowed time unless I get kidney surgery immediately. I have been trying to get said surgery for more than 10 years now while condition worsens. For many, many reasons I will not go into, I will not allow them to forcibly admit me for "emergency surgery" as I have not trust or faith in this hospital because of repeated abuses. Was supposed to have the surgery set up within a week through local Urology (who once before dropped the ball) who, again, have dropped the ball. Due to the ridiculous state of medical bureaucracy and red tape in Massachusetts I am without adequate medical care, without hope to rectify this situation, and have no one to turn to or complain to because frankly, no one cares. Basically, the attitude permeating all of the so called agencies to help people in exactly my position is that I should be willing to subject myself to abusive and unethical conduct and have my rights violated if I want medical care.

In short - I am not.

So, not sure how much longer I will be around. I will still try to contribute here and there as I can, but all of this has greatly enhanced the depression for which I was originally considered disabled, so motivation is lacking.
