Update on Mom (they have no clue)
They did a colonoscopy. Maybe bleeding polyps; they hadn't actually told
her when I spoke with her. But they started her on some medications and she hopes she'll get to go home tomorrow. She's still bleeding to the point of having to wear adult diapers (doesn't sound that great to me, but a colonoscopy isn't exaclty a non-invasive procedure). She said she feels fine and ate a hearty breakfast and most of her lunch. YAY! She'll be fine; I'm convinced of it. But she doesn't want me to come down there. I'm being urged and urged and urged again by my brother, to the point I'm not answering the phone when he calls. Mom says a visit from me right now would agitate my father. He's very frail. And she's the one who has to deal with him. It's a bit like a soap opera. I'm adhering to my mom's wishes. Thanks for the good wishes. Keep up the purrs, please. Mom for the medication to work and for my dad to be a tad more cognizant. Jill |

Update on Mom (they have no clue)
Jill was she awake during the procedure. I has one done and was wide awake
the doctor explained everything as she was doing it. I had bleeding polyps which were easily seen and the doctor talked to me about everything including the treatment which was laser surgery which she did on the spot. Of course I had to add a few comments to break the ice. Such as going where no man has gone before, Can you hear me know. Off course the doctor joined in and had me already blushing worse than sitting there exposed to the world. I had to get the last laugh in and asked well do I at least get a kiss I am glad she is doing better If they still can't find anything I would have them do a whole body scan you can get a virtual colonoscopy done that way "jmcquown" wrote in message ...

You have my sympathy and best wishes, in addition to the ongoing purrs for
your parents. Your brother and mother have effectively put you in a no win situation. That can be very painful and impossible to reconcile. Maybe you can get that across to your brother.

I think you're right to honor her wishes. It's too bad your brother is giving you such a bad time. Being caught in the middle is awful. Joy |

Mom for the medication to work and for my dad to be a tad more cognizant. Jill Purrs are on the way. Bleeding from there, even profuse-looking bleeding, isn't necessarily something lethal. I had a problem with colitis some years ago that looked (and felt) very bad and was pretty frightening. With the right attention and medication, it was fixed right up and never recurred. Purrs that the colonoscopy is clear, and your relatives chill. Theresa |

I think my going down there would just agitate the wash, so to speak. I think I'm doing the right thing, too. Mom knows I'l be there the moment she needs me. I've offered many times over the last 10 years to move closer and I've reiterated it. I can be there to cook, shop, run errands, take them to appointments, whatever. She says "not yet". So I have to adhere by her wishes and I will. Jill |
