Rough Times

[Pete]

I hate replying to stuff like this because its hard to write something an not make it sound like a comparison but here goes.

Im going through shit at the moment too. I had my break from fedding whatever because my old man had a heart failure, so I flew out to Spain fearing the worst. He was in a coma for 15 days and he won't be 100% fit again. He's in a hospital now doing physio and stuff as he's forgotten how to walk and such.

I done the crying, I done the sitting and moping, I done that "never talk about heart problems in vain" phase. I've also gone the other way and reeled myself back in coz I was going off the rails with the drink and what have you. If I had advice, it would be just to try and carry on to the best of your abilities. If not for yourself, but for your mother.

But yeah, from We Are Legions point, I've had nothing but support from 10-15 close friends since its happened. THAT is as important as anything tbh.

People have 15 close friends? :O

I have two, only one of which I would be guaranteed to get support from if I had a situation like that. The rest of my support network is mostly made up of family members and a couple of Internet people.

Yes, I'm a loser.

Anyway, RRS, hang in there, and be grateful the worst is over. You will start to see little improvements as a huge deal - just be thankful for any small increment in your Mum's health. I've been there with my previous dog, and while it's not the same thing, I kind of know the point you're at right now. Just ride the wave, wherever it leads, and hopefully it will lead somewhere good
