Another Mommy Update Let me

Another Mommy Update

Let me start off by saying....I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXHAUSTED!
Taking care of someone is tough work.

Mom was released from the hospital yesterday. Her hemoglobin went up a bit and she was feeling a tad bit better.
She's still anemic and she's weak and tired AND of all fucking things, she's now getting a cold!

My dad is such a jerk. What the hell is wrong with some people who think they are exempt from participating in the care of other people yet expect to be cared for by others?
When I got to my mom's house, my dad was practically knee deep in filth. Not only did he not do a thing to help clean while Mom was in the hospital, he contributed to nearly ALL of the mess. When the trash got full, he just piled things on top, letting it spill over to the floor. Of course I should clarify that this wasn't food-type garbage but paper-type trash.
I cleaned it up and bitched the whole time. He complained that he is still the father and I shouldn't talk to him like that.
HE. IS. STILL. THE. FATHER. Is he fucking kidding me??
I told him he didn't have the right to pull the father card when I was cleaning up his shit, not because he wasn't able, but because he felt like it was acceptable to live like this and expect my very sick mother to clean up after him when she got home.
I'm still pissed about it!
That old man better hope and pray that he goes before my mother because he'll be a lonely mother fucker if he doesn't.

I did some research on red blood cell building foods and I've been cooking them for Mom, then I bought her some iron supplements. I'm going to FORCE that woman to get well.

We are still watching her closely. She has suffered from DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) since I was 2 and has been on blood thinners for years. Because of this internal bleed, she's been taken off of the blood thinners so we are terrified that she will have a blood clot. When we voiced these fears to her doctor, she explained that she's not putting her back on the blood thinners until the tear in her stomach is healed. We asked what should we do about the blood clotting disease and the doctor actually said, "Just pray."
JUST PRAY??????????
I don't like that. I don't like that AT ALL. I'm sorry but I don't want my doctor to even believe in God. I want my doctor to believe in medicine and science. When a doctor starts putting shit in God's hands, it's time to be afraid.

Thanks to everyone who sent their well wishes. I sincerely appreciate it.
