I remember when my dad was in the hospital after his heart attack. He thought the fact that they went in through an artery in his upper thigh to clear out a blockage near his heart was super nifty. And I agreed in theory, but when he was there in his hospital gown saying, “Want to see the incision?” and started to raise the lower hem, I was all, “Good lord, no!”

Thrive to spite them
Cindy that is a lot to go through. You aren't a bad daughter for talking about it and needing to vent. She's your mom and it's complicated but that doesn't mean you can't acknowledge what she's said and how it makes you feel.
I also think it's totally reasonable that you don't want to see her and have to deal with all of that. I think anyone would feel the same.
So far Mom has been...frustrating when she had her stroke, but not mean. Neither of my parents are going to be easy to deal with (I have Mom who drove herself to the hospital the morning after her stroke and wanted to drive home from the hospital and Dad who called work to let them know he thought he was having a heart attack and wouldn't be in and when they were like "call 911!" he called his dr who was like "call 911!!" which he finally did.)
Mom's been dealing with the emotional stuff of "I don't have any help, I'm all alone" type of thing from her sister. I think Mom has started calling her on that because she can't keep her tongue. It's hard on Mom and it's pretty much ruined what ever relationship they had to the point Mom's said she's not sure she'd go to my aunt's funeral when that happens.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry you went through all that, Cindy.

In a separate post, JZ has responded to her first round of chemo with lots of throwing up. Whee. Can't even keep the anti-nausea meds down.
Also, our router is working but my computer won't connect so I'm using a limp little open connection which is probably running my private numbers directly to a Russian hacker.
