My rock through all this has been my 19 year old Daughter. My sons moved and are carrying on with their lives, which is good for them....they don't really understand it. My Daughter graduated from high school, went to work AND college full time and stayed home to take care of me. Since I can no longer work and I am still waiting on my disability...she has not only at 19 been paying a mortgage, taking care of me and working 40 hours a week...she still has time to just talk to me. Without this fabulous Daughter, I would have been homeless and I have no idea where I would have ended up? She makes me laugh, she cries with me, she is there for my doctor appointments and is always in my corner! There has been no end to her show of love for her Mother....even though for me it carries guilt that I am the one supposed to be taking care of her. I have told her, my identity as Mom has been taken away. She looks at me and tells me she will always need her Mom I know the little things I am still able to do for her are not even half of what i used to do....but when I make her breakfast of a lunch or sometimes a dinner..she really makes me feel like it's the most fabulous thing I could have done! I have told her, when I get my disability, she can move out and on with her life. She just looks at me and laughs....."yeah right, and you'll be stuck on the floor or in bed with no one around, I can't leave you"....and we both laugh at the thought since I have been stuck on the floor & in bed before:-0 She is able to find humor in my illness where I can not, she is able to make a huge deal over little things I can do, and she is my best friend on top of that. There are still people in this world who are loving, caring and understanding and I feel honored to one as my Daughter. frustrated...

You were meant to have her as a daughter to care for you, as I was meant to care for my brother. He was my rock. You are her rock. We all need someone for different reasons and I am glad God blessed you with such a gift of a daughter, but she had a good mom, to become such a lady. cheers. |

Crystal, It is wonderful that you have such a loving and caring daughter, you've raised her right and now she in turn will help you and many more in her life....She might be young but she has the gift of nurturing and am so glad that we have one more young person who is shining thru those who have no goal or dedication whatso ever..... Blessings to you and she, Debi |

Crystal What a touching tribute to an extraordinary young lady. Would that all daughters were valued and loved as much as she, and would that all mothers would tell them so. I am so glad you have a precious person in your life that is able willing and anxious to help you through this time of trial. I wish all our friends here had someone so special in their lives. I know that she will be blessed beyond measure for what she is doing now. I am so happy to read that you appreciate her beyond measure and are blessed by her gentleness kindness and care. One shouldn't be surprised however, because who raised this angel? You are simply reaping the reward of a job well done. I am so very happy for you, and hope you let your daughter read this, she needs to know you understand and appreciate her efforts so much as to tell us about her.

I am an RN with a current license since 1984....sheesh that's a long time....but that doesn't mean I am a DOCTOR
I dispense advice freely but you should take it with a grain of salt and do your homework and check with your doctor.
He gets paid more so he must know more. Right?
I am truly sorry your are reading my post, because it means you are here at MD Junction instead of out skydiving or deep sea treasure hunting or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.......
Empyema-
Fibeomyalgia
Hashimoto's
IBS=if you have to ask you don't want to know
severe osteo arthritis, spine/neck
