| Thank you Aunt Joan!!! Despite no improvement re: today's phone call to WSH, and our upcoming visit tomorrow, I have pure releief, I can feel the tension leave me completely on this issue. When I mentioned Mom's potential for transfusion, she so matter of factly said, "What's wrong with that? My Mother has had it frquently" ... "They're done all the time"! Phew!
About the scope Dr K is talking about, neither of us know what he means, prolly not colonoscopy or endoscopy which we have gone through personally, so not a huge deal, although it is totally emphasized when you add the Gerry's POV where everything is so scary and worthy of suspicion to her [I'm still miffed that HP hid meds in her food, she detected it and dumped it and wouldn't eat...I still think this helped prove her paranoia to her, but hopefully food from home may help encourage her to eat, and the goop to become "regular", especially since right now they are looking for a stool sample to see if she's bleeding internally. If she isn't, then she'll prolly have the transfusion once to just amp up her iron in her blood, if she is, then time to figure out what it is. Thank you Aunt Joan!!! Holding on to this weight and fear and panic and then being able to let it go, well you have no idea how good this is for me right now. I actually think I'll go out on the deck for a few moments, then come back in and tackle this nightmare of a bedroom - argh!
