So tonight was the support group meeting. My mom didn't really want to go because she is in pain from falling. I told her I thought she should go, so she did. Although now I feel sort of guilty. Basically the whole meeting was guest speakers (physicians) lecturing about respitory machines and care. Don't get me wrong I was grateful to hear what they had to say and was respectful, but maybe it was a little to early for us to go? My mother didn't seem too interested, I think because it was hard for her to get comfortable. She also still smokes cigarettes unfortunatly. I'm not sure how she does it. Her hands are getting so weak and seem to be curling in. She also mentioned how the others that were there weren't progressed as fast as she was. I noticed it too. Instead of her arms or legs going like others, her hands are one of the main problems. But on a more positive note she wants to go to the one next month and maybe then we will have more of a chance to talk to others and their families. I'm sorry to be so negative on these posts but I really just need to vent. I am looking into depression medication and if that doesn't help I will seek a therapist if affordable. Now I seem to think maybe it was just me who needed the support group and I shouldn't drag my mother along with me unless she asks me to?
