Well, I know its been a while. my life is insane...I am scheduling the nervous breakdown for something in 2010, when I have time. (yeah right, like I am ever going to have time.)
Mommy dearest had yet another TIA, another trip to the ER just to have it resolve itself once her blood pressure was undercontrol again. Turns out she was only taking her HTN med when she felt bad. Can I strangle this woman now? Ya know, patient teaching to a 60-something year old stuborn jackass, is about useless, might as well talk to the wall for all the good it is gonna do ya. So the CNP RN, tells her to take her meds as prescribed, and sends her home to follow up with her family doctor. BTW, she promptly ignored him and continues to do things 'her way.' The medcine makes me feel draggy, and it makes my blood pressure too low for me. What part of "take your medications as prescribed," do you not understand?
Guess I should just keep my mouth shut. The sooner she sends herself over the edge, the sooner I can move back to Alaska, and get out of this hell hole in Texas. I have to wait her out. The way she is going, not taking her meds, getting psycho on the phone with bill collectors, and in general nuerotically trying to run everyone else's life, the faster she will send herself into a major CVA. My only hope, do it right the first time, go for fatal and leave the vegatative state alone. BTW, yes, she is a DNR. I refuse to make her go through a code. She may be the worlds biggest bitch, but she is my mom, and I will not allow her to be tortured. She doesnt want any heroic measures, fine with me. My brothers and sister are the ones that dont get it. Luckily I have already explained, and mom has made her wishes known to dad, so the sib's can stick it in their ears.
Topic change.
Tomorrow I met with my lawyer to go over the facts of my case, and get ready for the deposition. Can you say nausea and vomitting from stress induced ulcers?
As for the last two classes before upward mobility: Health assessment B, Pathophsy B.
Guess now all I have to do is to take the entrence exam and wait for my application packet to be finialized. LOL I'm not under any stress........
(dont let the men in the white coats take me away. They're coming to take me away. ) Anyone else here remember Doctor Dementoe? I miss that program. Okay so I have a few loose screws, doesnt everyone?
time for another smoke, then bed. I have to drive into Houston tomorrow..... I hate that town. Too many ppl and too much traffic. Did I mention that I miss Alaska?
laterz all.
