NEED TO VENT
So next week I am scheduled to to see my PCP for my referral for gastric bypass surgery and my first surgical consult the day after that. Monday, I got hit with news that my mother has breast cancer and today my blood pressure shot up to 158/100. I'm just stressed to the bad right now. And I'm scared that the process us going to be slowed down because of all of this!
Im sorry for your mother's diagnosis and I pray your family's stregnth thru thu the related ordeal... but I do not think her illness should slow you down...if ANYTHING, it should make you more focused... you cant be mentally & physically healthy for your mom if you are in your current state... you saw how just the diagnosis affected your blood pressure?? my advice is for you to get healthy for you, your mom & then you can be both a support system and role model
