First off I don't expect anyone to actually read this. I just really needed to get this off my chest or my head was going to pop. If you do read this please don't think that I dislike my mother in anyway shape or form. I love her dearly. Just I no longer have the patience for the games that she keeps playing.
Like the saying goes:
Once bitten shame on you, twice bitten shame on me.
I just felt that since this has such a negative effect on me that by getting it down on "cyber paper" and out of my head would be a healing of sorts.
Okay proceed if you wish.
Well Mom's at it again.......already not even 12 hours since she was at the facility that she was having her therapy.
I called her to see how she was doing and suddenly, just like that, her kidney's are hurting and she says she has a yeast infection under one of her breasts.
Of course when I put it right to her "the pain wasn't
that bad" only maybe a 5 on a 1-10 scale. And her so called infection, well she did say that she had some medicine cream that she could put on that.
I asked her point blank what she wanted me to do for her. I said, " Do you want to go to the hospital or the doctor's office or what?"
I told her that I wasn't going to make that decision for her. That she needed to. So if she really felt that she needed to go then I would of course take her.
At that point is when I got the "well it's really not that bad" response.
She then started in on how she needs to have her prescriptions re-filled. I said okay I will pick them up for you, just call the pharmacy and let them know which ones you need.
Ten minutes later I get a voicemail from her saying how the pain is back, and it is hurting real bad and that there is a problem with her prescriptions and that I need to call her back right away.
So I call her back.
She didn't sound like she was in excruiating pain. Was able to talk just fine. When I asked her how her side was, mysteriously it didn't hurt so bad again.
CAN YOU SAY ATTENTION SEEKING!!!!
I told her again that she would have to make that decision about going in to see the doctor or the hospital, that I WAS NOT GOING TO MAKE THAT CALL.
She once again said that she was okay.
This is the kind of thing that I have to put up with on a daily basis.
Arggggg!
And honestly I just don't know how much more I can take before I say something to my mother that I will later regret.
I am trying really, really hard.
And with that all comes the stress thing. The eating, eating and eating thing.
But like I said I am not going to let my mom and her behavior control that anymore.
From now on if she needs to go to the doctor or the hospital I will take her but I will not stay too. Because always they can never find anything wrong with her. No reasons to keep her or anything.
I always end up spending my whole day sitting around waiting for nothing while mom laps up all the attention and then like 6-7 hours later is told she will have to go home.
So now I am going to treat her behavior just the same way I would my children.
No more attention for bad behavior.
She will either stop with the theatrics or she will continue them but without me there as an audience.
It just really gets my goat that yesterday when she left the facility she was right as rain and now suddenly the sky is falling.
Hmmmph
Congrats!
See ya around 
Watch out for the emotional eating... Stress will do a number on you...
