| Not knowing where to begin, I shall just pick a point, and go from there. Mum's no good. Last thursday she had to go back into hospital. Her leg blew up to roughly twice the size, ir turned red, and was sore to touch and walk on. She went to her doctor, and he sent her straight to hospital. The crux of the story is that the warfrin (sp?) that she was on for her blood clots doesn't work. The doctors as yet don't know why it's not working, but she's going to stay in hospital until they've found out why. So, The result of this is a new clot in her left leg, and the clot in her right leg, which was roughly 6 inches long, now extends from just about her hip, to her toes. Ewan is displeased. Especially as we were in the emergency room 2 weeks ago, and told the doctors there that a new clot had developed, and we had the ultrasound images to show this, and the doctors said that it was likely that they just missed the clot in the other leg when she was in hospital the first time. To which we said "But she's on an anti-coagulant. She shouldn't have new clots!" but they assumed that they simply missed the clot the first time. So now we're proved right. On top of this... My eldest brother Peter woke up on night roughly a week ago with no feeling in the left side of his face. He got up and looked in a mirror and found that it had dropped, just like as if he had a stroke. So an ambulance trip and a few tests later, he found out that he didn't have a stroke, but he has got Bell's Palsy (again sp?). To which the doctors said that there's really nothing they can do. Either it will get better on it's own, or it won't. On top of this... As some of you man already know, my dad was previously married before marrying my mother. I've been alive for 25 years now, and only a few days ago I found out why and how his first marrige ended. I've always known that it wasn't a good seperation, because my dad got custody of the three boys. So I knew that there was always a reason. The other day, my brother mark, who has never really liked my mother, visited her in hospital. Which nearly gave my mother a heart attack. Dad was talking to me later that evening, talking about how Mark had said things and done things in the past which would never be forgiven, or forgotten. I wasn't sure what dad was referring to so I asked him. He told me stories about what mark had said about my mum, which I won't repete here, and how when mark got married, Dad and mum were put on a table at the back of the room, which dad's ex-wife (mark's biological mother) was a part of the bridal table. Again, I'm babbling a little here, but basically, dad told me how his first wife had been cheating on him for more than 6 months with the man she's currently married to, before walking out on my father, and the three boys. This is why dad got full custody. Some time later, she got visiting rights, my dad being the nice guy he is allowed her to have the boys on the weekends on occasion. When the boys grew up, she attempted to tell the boys the story that Dad had been cheating on HER with my mother, which was the reason for the divorce. One of the sons (I believe) has swallowed this lie hook line and sinker. One didn't believe, and one refused to have anything to do with her after she tried so spread these lies. I'm sure you can imagine the one I'm closest too, the one I speak to on occasion, and the one I speak to only on family occasions... On top of this... My girlfriends Dad is now out of hospital, after a few complications with his surgery. He's still got to take something like 17 pills a day for a while, but it's great to see him walking about. And so, now that I've vented a little, about a few of my problems, I believe it's time for sleep... Goodnight all... | ||||||||||||
