What on earth?

This week is unlike any other I have ever experienced.

Mom got angry that I stood up to her when she was verbally mean and insulting to me. I thought we had the entire thing hashed out and that it was over. Boy was I wrong.

She's checked herself out of the nursing home against medical advice. She has constructed a version of our argument on Sunday night that never happened. Never in a million years would it have happened the way she is saying it did. So, now she and Dad are at home, on their own. I don't know if mom is driving or not.

I've talked to my counselor and to one of the ministers at my church about the whole thing. I feel a peace about my decisions that I've made this week. I just wanted mom where she was safe and looked after.

However, I feel very sad that my mom has constructed this elaborate argument with false accusations against me. I feel even worse knowing that she's the type that will never, ever apologize. She behaved like a two year old; took her ball and went home. I'm sad that she's that way. And given her age, she's not likely to change.

Mom has Stage IV Endomtrial cancer

The final pathology results came in last Friday. It was endometrial in nature, the doctors said. That means the cancers mom had in 2001 and 1998 have spread. An MRI was done and no brain tumors were found.

She's been discharged and is now in a nursing home. She needs to regain her strength, lose the nausea, and get better.
