I hate Parkinson's disease....AGAIN...or still...

My mother fell out of her wheelchair tonight while at the computer writing a poem when she was supposed to have gone to bed.  Unfortunately she fractured/compressed a disk in her back.  She is now in the hospital.  And so now she cannot sit up and when she cannot sit up, she cannot take her Parkinsons meds or pain meds or swallow or drink water or eat.  So she is on Morphine for the pain to see if she can sit up tomorrow.  However, Morphine makes her loopy.  So I wish I was on Morphine.  I hate hate hate Parkinson's disease.  I only have one mother.

What a terrible thing it is - my auntie has the early stages. Hope things improve with your mum really soon xxx

Thanks for letting me know. I am so sorry. I hope she has her Jose with her so she can read my emails as she improves. God bless the whole family.
