Go back to the hospital. They thought mom would be fairly ok as it was apparently a 'minor' hear attack. But things have taken a bad turn

Shes not even able to speak properly, got back from the hospital awhile ago.  She didn't have a stroke, shes not on any pain meds, shes not on anything psychoactive.   Really bizarre for my mother, she has been alert and talkative for ... er...  50 years as far as I know, right up until today.  Shes barely speaking, she tries to start saying something , gets like 2 words out and then has to stop speaking.  Reminds me of myself after the car accident (except her first two words are intelligible) they have given her CT scans and all sorts of tests.   Oddly her blood pressure is high on the high end and low on the low end, (typically they are both high or both low).  

She had a 'minor" heart attack that from the doctor on down to the nurses assistant says she was talking fine all the way until sometime earlier 'today" (Tuesday).   I can't sleep, freaking out more than my usual freaking out.  

I'm having trouble keeping myself together, this added to it is rough.  There isn't really anyone else, not in the day-to-day close sense.  Dad's dead, most all the blood relatives live out of state or are very estranged / my mother wouldn't want them around (or more commonly they wouldn't bother).  Grandma who would have been the 2nd after dad is now on hospice and my aunt (who would have been third is taking care of my grandmother basically full time)....

I can't even really think straight and I have to keep clear headed enough to just drive.  Plus there is all the bills I'm not sure what is and isn't paid.  Hard to focus.  (although right now I'm just DEAD tired, which isn't helping.)

    • No, especially now that you told me to.   I've been done for a while anyway.  Also healthcare is a joke and I just refuse to play that game. This is my form of "quiet quitting."
    • I'm not a doctor but that sounds like a major gastrointestinal problem and is one of this things that basically everyone says to get checked out immediately.   I don't know where you live but I will drag you kicking and screaming to get it checked if you don't go soon. If you die on us, I will dig up your grave and kill you a second time. Take it seriously.
    • I'm sorry they suck so hard.  I'm also sorry to say that it's very likely because of how you look with all the tattoos, piercings, garb, and whatnot.  They probably thought you were there for drugs especially if there isn't anything obviously wrong (and if there was something obviously wrong like a lead pipe sticking out of your leg they might think you did that to yourself just to get drugs.) But admittedly they're a bit jaded because SO MANY people do go actually just trying to score drugs. My mother was in constant pain the last ten years of her life, and even more when the cancer showed up.  She said it was the worst pain of her life.   Pain management is a fucking joke that just isn't  and never has been funny, but they keep telling it anyway. They also can tend to be super judgy on top of the general distrust because it's a religious hospital network.  I think we're lucky they're not still trying to use leeches at this point.     You should have sued their asses.  At least it didn't diminish her quality of life longterm.   Doctors are arrogant assholes too and think that the patient doesn't know shit.  While I admit that not having seven years of medical training doesn't make us regular plebs as qualified, no one knows what's going on with the patients own body quite like the patient.  The patient (or guardian) should always be informed and involved with what their medical team is doing.   There needs to be some type of legal medical bracelet that basically says "this person has a guardian and if you do anything without their  consent they will sue the everloving shit out of you."     All that said, I should probably go see someone about this blood I'm shitting.  But I really don't want to deal with them that much (also the lack of medical insurance doesn't help either.) On the plus side if I do die then it's not my problem anymore so I don't have to worry about it!
