@Aroura

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she recovers fully and you find a place for her. That's a stressful situation, make sure you have an outlet.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yeah, all too often we forget to take care of ourselves in stressful situations like that.

Whatever you do Aurora, as has been said to Kingy also, you're not doing anyone any favours by letting your own mental and physical health suffer as a result.
take care.

The wheels of progress turn slowly in the Commonwealth.

Well medical use is legal i can technically get it.  A lot of people here are going to complain about
"back" problems and needing "herbal" means of getting better.

Yeah, having a legal script would still raise eyebrows at my job, especially if it was for "back" pain.  Rolleyes
I suppose I could avoid using health insurance and pay for all related MD visits/costs out of pocket; Too much time, effort and extra $ to make make it worth it IMO, though.

Sorry to hear about your mom.

I would suggest that you make a strong push for rehab. She'd have to be there for several weeks to a couple of months, but it's likely her best shot at returning to or close to her baseline. She may very well be able to return to her previous living arrangement afterwards. 

Whatever happens, it'll give you time to better assess the situation and plan accordingly.

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.
