NWR-My mom just

Original post by LuckyMe

got back from the doctor for having chest pains and they told her that she had a heart attack and didnt even know it! They arent sure when it happened but she's pretty sure it was a few days ago when she was standing on line in CVS getting a prescription filled for my sister. She actually called me because she needed someone to talk to because she was feeling so ill. Now she's going into the hospital for further testing tonight for the next 3 days. I really dont know what to make of it. My mom lives in Fla. so I cant even go there will she's in the hospital to see for sure what's happening.

Although it is very scary- thank goodness they caught it now! After her tests, they can determine what her best treatment will be so that nothing worse will happen in the future..

Re: NWR-My mom just

Thanks so much for all the thoughts, you guys really are the greatest. It's amazing you can count on strangers more then family! My mom called this morning before the stress test to tell me she was gonna kill my sister(18yrs.)when she gets home. My mom called my aunt to come stay with my sister and my daughter, who is staying with my mom to go to school. My 11yr. old brother went to stay at his dads, who's nothing but stress anyhow. Well my aunt is very strict and my mother isnt so my sister is out of control, as if this is a party. I talked to her last night and asked her to please behave will my aunt was there so that she didnt bother my mother with nonsense like usual but NO my aunt called her first thing this morning will my mother was on the phone with me to tell her that first my sister invites all these people over last night so my aunt calls my mother about that and tells my sister to make them leave. So my sister leaves with them and then comes home with another friend who she invites to sleep over so my aunt called my mother about that this morning. My mother didnt get any sleep last night(nerves)then couldnt eat anything or have her usual coffee(big for mom in the morning)and of course the topper she cant have a cigarette. My aunt is 60yrs. old you would think she could handle this without calling my mother. So now my mother has already told the doctor that she's signing herself out after the test because she needs to get home and get things under control. I swear I would love to ring my sisters neck right now. Sorry but I needed to vent.

Just got off the phone with my sister and flipped out on her. She swears my crazy aunt exagerated everything and it's possible but there's nothing I can do about it from here.

I feel your pain- it is so hard being far away...

All you can do at this point is try your best to be there for your mom...which you already are!!

Hopefully you yelled at your sister enough to get some sense in her head

I am so sorry your going through this I know what its like to be far away and not abe able to do anyhting about it. My mom lives in PA and I live in queens so when she has trouble with my 13 yr old brother she calls me but I can't do anything from here.

Re: NWR-My mom just

My sister called me earlier from the hospital upset because my crazy aunt is convincing my mom she's right in wanting to leave the hospital and that the doctors dont know what they are talking about. She tells me that they want to do an ultrasound now(mom has issues with her liver too for a long time). So my aunt told my mom she's right not to do it because her liver has nothing to do with her heart. Obviously there's a reason though they want to do it right. So my sister asks me to call her and get her to stay in the hospital for the test. So I call and my mom's being a real wise a$$ on the phone and when I asked her what's going on she starts repeating everything my sister just told me my aunt is agreeing with, so when I tell her she needs to stay and stop acting like my grandmother used to(harsh but true and mom was always the first to complain about grandmas behavior)she tells me she loves me but GOODBYE!!! and hangs up on me. So I got so frustrated with everything that's been going on, not to make this about me in anyway but I have two babies that are sick, I have an exam on Friday that can either make or break my avg. in anatomy which will determine my shot at getting into the nursing program, that I have NO time or peace to study for, FH and I are having severe money issues that may cause us to cancel our trip to Vegas in 3 weeks, inlaws that are driving me up a wall with stupid crap, my selfish brother and his wedding plans, and my mother having a slight heart condition that she is taking to lightly and my sister, mother, aunt and everyone else calling me as if there is something I can do for each of them 1100 miles away Im ready to lose my mind!!!

Firts things first: you NEED to study for your test!! If you don't do that you will have immediate problems. IMO your mom is going to do what she is going to do- you can't change that from here. What I would do is get a sitter, study your a$$ off, and then fly down to FL and see what the deal is.

You can drag a horse to water...

just remember, you are paying $$$$ for school and that is your future!!

If you need a sitter let me know

Your very sweet but being that the exam is tommorow and everything in my life is utter caios(I hope I spelled that right )I dont know how well Im gonna do. As far as my mother I totally agree with you. My daughter called FH last night on his cell to tell him what is going on(because she's down by my mother going to school since I have to worry about her safety in this school district and i dont have the funds to move right now)because I took the phone off the hook. I spent the night studying as much as I could and just didnt want to be bothered with everyone elses problems. I know this sounds horrible considering what mom just went through but mentally I just cant deal right now more then I've tried to. Im gonna spend atleast today worrying about me and studying, right after my cup of coffee FH comes home today at 2:30pm so I'll go to the library for alittle bit. Tommorow I'll call my sister and find out whats going on hopefully it wont be any more serious than what happened. My mother has a very stressful job, she's in advertising, and she works at home because of her liver troubles. Somedays she cant get out of bed. She's a martyr(sp. again)though and sometimes blows things out of proportions for attention and after she worries you she likes to play it down with a tone in her voice like awww their worried about me!! It drives me nuts because unless your there you never know how serious anything actually is. Thanks everyone for your prayers, your thoughts, and your Im definetly using all of them.
