It seems like either my husband or the kids bring stuff home when I still haven't recovered from the last illness. I think it has to do with lack of sleep ( baby refuses to wean, so any advice on that would be appreciated too. He is 15 months). About a month and a half ago, I went to a natural md who found a lump on the side of my neck, but since I was fighting a cold, it was just to be kept an eye on. Went to my normal family doc a week or so later, and he said to wait another week and if it hasn't gone down, a cat scan. Did a cat scan, they said there is a mass and is sending me to a specialist. Of course, mil, says it is nothing and thinks the tests are a waste of time. (How can someone make you feel like you are making it up when two docs and a cat scan said otherwise....geez!)

Anyway, searched the Internet and read tons of what-ifs. But, anyone on here have same experience? Btw, my primary doc said this type of mass is not from an infection. ]]> All Things Health Regina http://forums.jetgirls.net/all.things.health/23111-mass.neck.html http://forums.jetgirls.net/all.things.health/23110-grandparents.html Thu, 16 May 2013 00:48:40 GMT I'm sure someone else has had to deal with this type of situation I would appreciate any advice I can get.....So 13 years ago my parents sold thier house and moved into an apartment building that my grandmother owned (they moved into the apartment upstairs) in order to "help take care of her." And while it hasnt been great it's been ok (my grandmother is extemely impatient, demanding, and ungrateful critizing my parents all the time).

Recently (last 2 months or so) she has really gone down hill like can't do anything for her self can't get in bed or out of bed...anything....my mom took her to the ER this morning because it was so bad she couldn't move. After waiting there for 5 hours they said thier was nothing they could do (I guess her spine is deteriotiating?) and sent her home.

My moms upset because they didn't keep her and has pretty much decided to quit her job and take care of her, and is going to miss her niece's graduation this weekend because she's so bad my grandma can't go and can't be alone that long.

I'm beside myself my mom is miserable, and I don't understand why we cannot take her somewhere where she will have round they clock care (yes I'm talking about a nursing home). My mom gets mad when when I say anything about it and says that the nursing home can't make her stay. I really want to make my mom happy but it seems like she's resigned herself to this role even though she is miserable......as dh has said it's not my mother so I don't have much of a say in it. And before everyone says something yes I could go over there BUT let me give you an example of why this won't work.....So about 7 years ago before dh and I were married but dating we were sitting at the table with all my family and dh, my uncle, my dad and I were goofing around....well she didn't like that.....So after everyone had left I was helping clean up and she told me I should be "nicer" and "better" because dh could have any girl he wanted.....At which point I walked out and she kept trying to call me after I left!

I guess I'm just not sure what to do...let it go and let my mother be miserable because she's chosen that? Or try and fight to put her in a nursing home so my parents can have their life back? ]]> All Things Health Hokuspocus http://forums.jetgirls.net/all.things.health/23110-grandparents.html
