Bodhisattva in Recovery
Well, I had hoped this news would come in the distant future, but I was informed about an hour ago that my mom may not make it to Mother's day. She is 84, and was diagnosed with an inoperable cancerous tumor the size of a grape, situated in a duct running between her liver and pancreas. The cancer is not directly killing her, but it has caused severe damage to her liver and kidneys. So sad.
On a brighter note, I'm so glad that I've been able to spend the last few years as her primary care giver. It's been a huge challenge, but I was able to make a friend out of a parent. I'm executor of her will and everything gets split between myself and my sister, so we will be relatively OK here in Paradise. It's just too bad that the great speckled bird probably won't be back to enjoy her little corner of wonderland.
I have to start making some calls now..... *sigh* (One of billions...)
