So i've had my real mom here since Saturday and overall things haven't been so bad. Until last night. My mother takes more medication than anyone i have ever met in my life. She literally has to space out her medicine over 3 hours so she can take them all (she takes them at night and because of gastric bypass her stomach is super tiny and the medicine can't all fit at once). Well last night Jimmy had YM, my mom had just taken the last of her medicine and mid sentence passed out. I had to somehow get her to the guest room into bed. She was talking nonsense, and could not walk. I fell into the wall and on the floor countless times and cried as my mother fell into the wall because i wasn't strong enough to help her. I then had to dress my mother and try to pick her up and place her into bed. Hindsight tells me i could have waited for Jimmy to help me since i shouldn't be lifting 20 pounds nevermind 200+, but i was so embarrassed for my mother and didn't want Jimmy to be there and see all that.
I'm scared because my mother lives by herself and all i can think of is what if she were to try to get herself to bed? She could fall onto her glass coffee table (which she actually did a couple months ago) and lay there and not even be aware that she's in trouble! I am pissed because i can NOT believe a Dr. would prescribe so many pills that knock someone out to my mother whose body can't really process such strong medication, nevermind so MUCH strong medication.
Sad to say but i am now happy that Ike will be coming after my mother leaves because i can not take care of her and a newborn, not in the physical sense or mentally. I am so exhausted after last night, there's no way i could do this for more than 2 weeks.

OhhRhi I am so sorry!!! That has to be hard on you and I will pry God will give you the strength through this. Maybe she can call and just tell the Dr. the medication is just too much for her because that would be bad her by herself and something like that happens. Well cheer up and REST today!!!! I love you and I am praying for you. {{{BIG HUGS}}}
It's hard watching parents age, and knowing that you are far way makes it harder, well, I think anyhow. Maybe you can suggest she get all ready for the evening and such before she takes her last pills for the day. Hope that hings get better.
To an extent i totally get all that. It has been, well we will say interesting, over the past couple of weeks with my dad.
Oh Linds, i'm sorry i should clarify, my mother LIKES to be on this many drugs. She likes that she can get high legally, which is a whole nother reason to be pissed
I am sorry!!!! It doesn't make it any better that you haf to go through this and being pregnant due anyday. i will be praying for you. i love ya and big hugs!!!!
