What happened to housecat?! I had no idea anything was wrong- she posted yesterday...

Oh, dear! Nothing is wrong here :-)

Thanks, @lolakimono for making me aware of this thread. Some of you know that my dad was hospitialized in January and subsequently passed away. I moved in with my mom at the time and haven't been able to leave. Caring for her is time consuming on top of working and other obligations, so I haven't had a great deal of time for the forum. I try to peek in every now and then, but I've been hesitant to start any new threads.

At the recommendation of my forum friends, I took Mom to her GP for evaluation. The GP agreed that something was amiss and referred us to a neurologist, who did further eval, then sent her for a CT scan. Next week we go back to him for an EEG (I think that's it). Once he knows what we're dealing with, he'll know how to proceed. He said he can refer us to a social worker at that point so that we can see what services are available to her.

Probably the thing that has me most on edge is that I havent' had time for baking, which has long been my de-stressor. I'm hoping that we'll have some answers soon and I'll be back in my own house by summer, but it's not looking likely at this point.

Anyway, thank you @Poodlepet2 and @Mothertrucker for asking about me. I'll try to be more present on the boards. I so love chatting with all of you.

Housecat, my friend, my deepest sympathies.......what a heavy load you are under......I am deeply sorry for your loss, and I know it is frightening with what is going on with your mother-and as I recall, your Dad was her primary care-giver......May Adonai bless you and keep you my dear friend.....and I am just going to say it-but you post so many great, thoughtful, engaging questions, and. I love you for it. We miss you, and we are here for you-and I give you, my dear friend, a virtual cup of your favorite tea, accompanied by a delicious warm buttered scone(bathed in Devonshire cream).....

Hugs and love.

Quick update: Shortly after I posted this morning, Mom fell and broke her hip. I spent the last 12 hours at the hospital. The orthapedist will read the xrays and CT scan tomorrow and make a determination of what happens next. I'll update when possible.
