Stressed OUT!?!

JustBeingMe · 09-02-2010, 12:44 AM

Since yesterday, when mom told me she needed to have an angiogram done again, because her heart is NOT getting Enough Oxygen to it, I have been stressed beyond measure. I am already so stressed over my own stuff and now this. OMG I think I am just going to lose my friggin mind.
I just pray that if mom has to have major surgery after finding out what's causing this, that it's done quickly and NOT during the time I have to leave and be elsewhere of which I have NO OPTION but to leave to attend to personal matters which I will not speak of here.
I don't think I can add another crumb to my plate, it's so overflowing right now it's unbelievable. OMG it's a damn good thing I don't drink.

Remarkable things can be done when heart problems are taken care of early. Glad this was found in time to take care of things.

Take time to breathe deep....I know, sounds simple..
Best regards to you and your Mom.

Suprisingly, this has me more stressed than I thought. Been fighting an anxiety attack for about an hour. Haven't had one of those since I was the one behaving badly. Now I find myself in a situation that I'm trying real hard not to influence, that may mean I loose someone very special.

Just trying to get by with these shallow breaths, because an elephant's been on my chest for a while. LOL

This too shall pass.

Simple but effective.

Stressed is not even a word that describes the meaning of what I truly feel lately. Mom has to have another angiogram due to her heart not getting enough oxygen and failing her stress test. My mom has had so many damn surgeries already it's not even funny. She has P.A.D. and high cholesterol, she's been on meds since her first surgery 22 years ago, when she was my age, 47...my bday is this month, so same age as mom on her first surgery. My mom died during her first open heart triple bypass, of which they had to revert to only doing a double, then the following year doing the other bypass surgery. She has plastic aorta in her stomach to both legs, and just had surgery in Dec for the 5th time to save her left leg, she now has plastic artery in that too. She has had both carotid arteries done, her right leg has had 2 surgeries already, and her right brachial artery has been done as well. I just worry that this may be the surgery that takes my mom from me. She's all I have and I love her with all my heart. My stepfather died Jan. 13th, and it just makes it even harder emotionally. I'm going through so much since Feb, that it's just taking it's toll on me. Hopefully if mom has to have her surgery, I can be here with her. I have to attend to personal matters I wish not to discuss, on Sept, 21st and I don't know how long it will take me to be able to get back here and be here for my mom. Man, I just wish I could get a break, just once. I wish my mom wasn't in the condition she is in, but it's hereditary, and I have the same problems,....luckily I haven't had to have any surgeries yet, Thank The Lord. I want to move back to Austin, but I am torn because of my mom and her condition. I know I can't fix it, but I wonder if I should just remain here so I am here for her always. I miss my friends badly, and have no support system here really. No queer friends here that I know of, this town is so small you could call it Hee Haw Land.
UGH, I feel heartburn coming on.

Well this dogs are up early and making noise so no sleep for me. I'm stressed out due to illness and the dogs just make it worse!! Gonna try to lay back down and see if sleep willl help!!

Got a huge weight lifted off my shoulders today. My moms angiogram came out really well. No blockages to her heart at all.
Doctor said her heart bypass from 22 years ago is still doing well and much better than expected. No surgery needed. This has lifted a huge amount of stress off me on top of my own personal issues going on. I feel somewhat relieved and grateful and thankful.
Now...........to deal with my own stuff beginning this month, and hopefully I can put that particular issue to rest and be done with it so I can move on to taking care of business in my own life.

Got another HUGE weight lifted off my shoulders Yesterday. I am finally no longer stressed over this particular issue. WOOOOHOOOoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
