I take all victories - big or small..prayers for mom - cancer update
Really nervous today. Yesterday I prepped my mom for her biospy procedure. They found some abnormal growth they need to take care of right away. That’s why the surgery was scheduled ASAP.
My thing is my brother felt that I need to be there for her today. HELLLO - I WORK!!! Not my fault him and his girlfriend did not listen to the doctor and assumed a different procedure was scheduled for yesterday. It was a complete waste of my time. I’d rather be at the hospital with her right now to translate but it’s HIS fault for not paying attention to the doctor and what procedure was in line. He - the man with no job, wants ME to take another day off to do this today.
I told Rodney and he’s right - he said, my mom makes too many excuses for him. Stop the BS! I need to work and he has nothing better to do then to either gamble, play poker, play video games and sleep. Ummmm, I work!!
I swear, my family is so backwards sometimes. Like I told him - his fault for having me take a day off for something he can take care of himself.
Oh, let me explain - my mom does not speak English, doesn’t drive and is in a wheelchair. She needs helpe in every aspect. I am usually the one taking care of her - but not when I have a perfectly healthy brother to help out since he is not working.
Anyhow, I’m staying optimistic and looking to a great outcome. I’m just going to take it one day at a time. We are not always on good terms but she is my mother after all. Hell, I look just like her!! 
An instructor friend of mine is subbing a kickboxing class tonight. She asked me to come. I guess I will go to it and swim a bit before bed. I need to get a weight session in too but I’m really sore from Pilates on Tuesday. LOL - loving the sore! :)
Food wise - finally a good night of no snacking after 10! I take all victories big and small.
Family can be so difficult but we love them anyway. I will pray everything goes well for your mother. Hopefully if you stand strong your brother will step up and help out more. Hope you have a great day…
I will be praying for your mom. It could a benign growth, not harmful, just needs to be removed if its in a bad spot.
Your family…..don’t feel bad..they all sound just like many families I know including mine.
Don’t fell bad i was in the same boat as you are. My brother dosn’t work and my mom is in a wheelchair also. I worked full time and had a 5 yr old son at the time it was very hard for me to come to her house after work make dinner, clean up etc while he slept all day. Well i got married and moved to the Mid-west and had another child so my brother had to step up his kids are all grown up and he stills dosn’t work. Your mother is in my prayers
Hey, not sure if you got my email but I decided I’m going to be brave and I would like to be put on the waiting list.

My thoughts are with you. My Mom has cancer so I know how scary biopsies can be. Just stay positive no matter what. ***hugs***
Hope everything goes well with your mom… and hopefully your brother will grow up and help out. Have fun at your workout and good job on not snacking past 10!
A victory is a victory no matter the size! 
prayers are out to you and your mother..
Finally made it here, girl! You and your momma are in with me. I too am hoping for a good outcome. I look just like my mom too!
Take every little victory you can, hon.
oh nancy how frustrating for you. I agree with you, your brother should help some more. You have to work and you are supporting quite the amount of people it sounds like. Hang in there and speak your mind. I know it is harder for you doing it with you family but you have to.
Wow well I hope everything went ok. Believe me, I understand about siblings and not helping with the care of the parents. You know I still have to take my dad to the doctor or he wouldn’t go and I have rotations
We do it because we have to and our work knows we are good and hard workers so they understand. Hang in there. pray everything turns out
I hope all goes well with your mom. And you are right stand up to your brother and make him realizes that not all responsiblities fall on you and that he can help pull his weight. I will keep you mo in my prayers and hope everything goes well.
Sure praying for you and your mom. You are right, your brother should handle his part too. Stick to your guns!
I’m praying for you and your mom…
Father I pray for strength and endurance for my friend Nancy… That she is strong and healthly, so that she can take care of her mother.. Father I pray for a speedy recovery for her mother, and I pray you send helping hands (brothers and sisters) that are so greatly needed Father… I pray all these things in Jesus’ Name… Amen…
Nancy stay fabulous (hugs and kisses)
