gigglemom is in the bathroom with diarrhea and is throwing up at the same time.
she will kill me if i call 911 for an ambulance... yet, she won't let me take her to the hospital
so i said "i just want to take you to at least get checked out."
she replied "erin i can't handle this [you nagging me about the hospital] right now"
to which i replied "well, i can't handle THIS"
yeah. i am not trying to make it sound cruel - it probably came out sounding like it was, but, i just had to walk her into the bathroom because she can barely get up or move by herself - her legs are shaking and weak, change her underpants, bring her oxygen, give her a trashbag to puke into, pray that diarrhea wouldn't get on the floor, hear her gutteral moans of pain and wait.
basically i meant that the hospital would be able to do a better job than i am doing.
now she wants to lay down and sleep. i really need to get her to go to the fucking hospital.
she's pissed off at me that i would even bring the hospital up right now.
gee. silly me for thinking that for the past week and a half she's been sick as hell
and in checking out symptoms, there seems to be "diarrhea" listed under some of the congestive heart failure symptoms.
Whatchoosayin'?? (4 yapped)
Hey GC, She might be mad if you call, but it may save her life. Good luck, I wish the both of you the best, and hope GM feels better soon.

Erin, I am so sorry that GM won't listen to reason. I'm guessing she's afraid of what will happen at the hospital so she's just ignoring how sick she is. It isn't fair to put you through this amount of mental and physical anguish, but I'm sure she isn't thinking about that, she's just scared.
Offering up a prayer that she will stop fighting you and let you help her.
Hugs and hang in there!

Does she tell you, "They won't let me smoke in the hospital"? I've gotten that one from my mom. Can you call her Dr.? Maybe if you just call for advice, he will call 911 for you. Might keep you out of trouble...
