Stressful month in real life

fireftr18 · 02-27-18, 09:40 PM

You all may have noticed my absence, or not. It's been a couple weeks since I've been on the forum. Real life took over and hit me hard. First, my mother went in the hospital and stayed for three weeks. During that time, we found out she had lung cancer. She was sent home and was improving, then a week later, worsened. She went into the hospital again, for breathing trouble. She had fluid in her lung cavity and needed assistance breathing. We were thinking, drain the fluid, and she'll be fine. Her lung didn't re-inflate, and she continued to worsen. We put her in hospice a week later, and she passed away after few days. Her funeral was Friday, February 9. The following Monday, my wife went into the hospital. We're thinking the stress and eating bad was what caused that. She stayed in for a week. She's home and okay now. On top of that, helping clean out my mother's house. I'm finally able to make the time to be able to get back to my Subsim friends.

One thing I did think about sitting in tiny hospital rooms for a month. Just sitting in them, I felt a little claustrophobic. I can't imagine being stuck in a submarine for 6 months at a time.

I can feel your pain Brother. I just lost my own mother this past summer.

My wife's mother passed away last night, 94, after a long battle.
My wife now has the all the arrangements to do. So yes I/we feel for you.

Please accept my condolences, all the best.

Reece.
