Long rant about my Mom, her condition and prognosis and her boyfriend.

I posted this on Friday after I spent the day in the emergency room with my Mom who just had a stroke. Unfortunately because she was alone by the time someone found her it was past the 4 hour window that they use to administer some drug that takes away the damage caused by the stroke.

Anyway I have been a mass of emotions since then and the one that outshines all the others is anger, (well there is also fear and frustration and sadness).

My Mom has lived with a man for the last 13 or so years. They are both in their 80’s now. He has had so many heart attacks and stints and clearing blockage it is amazing he is still alive. And to be truthful, because he is such a jackass and so mean to me that fact is not a happy one. I was kind of waiting for him to die so I could spend time with my mom with him not around, which he always is. He has said and done so many inappropriate and mean things to me if I told the whole story everyone would understand. I'll just share a couple things he has done since my Mom went into the hospital.

First I am pissed beyond belief that my mom has taken care of him and taken him to all his doctors and to his surgeries and the one ****ing time he could have helped her he was in damn hospital having yet another heart attack. Thank God my mom went outside after having the stroke sometime during the night because one of her neighbors saw her, went over and called 911.

So, he had the nerve to have a heart attack, and was therefore not there to help your mother. Not only is that stupid, but it is likely a lie.

So in the emergency room I am seeing my mother there lying there without the ability to speak or hardly move and this ****wad starts talking and talking and talking to me about stupid shit I couldn’t care less about. I wanted to just be by my mom’s bedside. I finally got away from him. I think he was pissed that he was not given power of attorney since he and my mother are not legally married. When he called later on that day he said real loud, “How’s my wife?” Well **** you!

Um. You just said he was in the hospital having a heart attack? I didn't realize that octogenarians were allowed to pop up in the middle of a heart attack to go sit in the ER?


It doesn't sound like much yet It isn't. You're lying. but I really feel like getting it out. The next day we were both in her room"Hi, I'm 80. I just had a heart attack. I'm going to mill around the hospital, if that's OK."I had brought a boom box to play music for her because I read that it is very helpful. So I turn it on and stay there for awhile and then go to the nurses’ station to ask a question. I was gone for about 2 minutes and when I walked back in the room he had gone over and shut the music off. I said, “What did you do that for?” His reply was, “She doesn’t like it”, (not to mention that she can’t talk and also that the monitor had had a yellow line going across it saying “irregular heart beat” and that sign went away within 30 seconds of her hearing the music. Then I was showing her pictures and he was adamant that I take them back home with me because “someone will steal them”. Of course he is not doing a damn think except sit there with her.

And recovering from that pesky little HEART ATTACK from the day before, huh?


Then he pulled his, “I don't know how your mother stands you” bullshit like he has in the past but this time I came back with, “None of us know how she stands you” (which is true). Oh, SNAP! You spoke Truth to Power!

Anyway the doctors and nurses were all very positive and would tell me that she said words and sang and walked and the day before yesterday when I was there she said my name twice very clearly. She laughed at Youtube videos I showed he and laughed at “Funniest Home Videos” But last night, (while the jackass was still there along with my brother and sister in law and I could tell with all the confusion and stress in the air she was not comfortable I asked the nurse if we could take her for a walk.

She said a bunch of stuff like how we would have to push the IV and monitors etc. And then she came into the room and in front of my mother said that because my mom had only said a few words and has not said sentences yet she will probably end up in a long term facility, (nursing home). I got the impression that she did not think my mom could recover.

And how the HELL would a NURSE know THAT? She's only a HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL! What do they know about 80-something women who've had a STROKE?


One, I do not think it is a nurse’s job to tell such things to the patient. She has two damn doctors and neither has been that negative about my mom’s prognosis. The one has been pretty positive and the other I really didn't talk to long. And two what the Hell is she doing saying these things in my mother’s presence?

She probably didn't say it, and even if she did, your Mommy is an adult.


I was so furious when I left the hospital yesterday and it is only now that I can write about it. They say she has to stay in bed for 24 hours before they release her to the rehab but she keeps trying to get up and they have to tie her into the bed so she doesn't get out and fall. I would be going nuts too if I was in bed or in a chair except for physical therapy all day.

Yeah, except you see, she's over 80 and has had a STROKE. Or so you say.



Thanks for letting me rant lie. FIFY
