How's Everyone Feeling Right Meow?

[The Valkyrie]

I just found out my mother had a stroke.  She fell down a broke 2 ribs a few days ago, and it seems that was a possible precursor symptom (the falling).  I'm going back up to the hospital tomorrow, but I'm scared to death and honestly, just all over the place emotionally.  She's alive, she can talk and think still (it appears to have been a left hemisphere stroke, her right side is mostly paralyzed, but her speech and thinking seem mostly unimpaired except for a slur from the paralysis).  

I don't know how I'll take care of her, though.  She lives with her sister, and her sister can't handle this.  I don't want her to have to go to some kind of home, but we have no room or money to move her in here.  My brother is a truck driver, he can't take her in.  My father and her have been separated for 25 years.  he's helping as much as he can, considering they aren't together anymore, but he can't do much except continue to provide her health insurance, for which I'm eternally grateful that he stayed married to her just so she could have that, but ahhh.  I don't know what to do.

Fuck, how did I miss this.

So sorry to hear this, Aroura.

I hope her recovery is quick and my thoughts are with you and your family.
