The Prognosis Is...

Congestive heart failure and pulmonary fibrosis.
After many weeks of exhaustive exploratory testing, this is what the doctors have deduced.

A lot happened while I was down there looking after my mom and grandmother.
I had a minor breakdown and ended up leaving town abruptly after my mom obliterated my last remaining nerve. I've been contemplating a more in depth post detailing my feelings and what not, but this will have to suffice for now.

  8. It's okay to be exhausted. Don't feel bad about your minor breakdown. You earned it.

    Lots of hugs!

  9. I'm glad you're back home & can have some physical distance from the situation. The emotional "stuff" always manages to follow us, but the distance can help you sort it out, find a place for some of it.
    Big hugs. See you soon.
