faith Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 My girlfriend's parents have both been sick for a while. Her mom was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy for about 5 years now. It's a neurological disease that causes your brain to shrink and you to lose your motor functions. Most people with it either die of starvation from not being able to eat, or from suffocation from forgetting how to breathe. She's been in a wheelchair for about 3-4 years now. Her dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that had already spread to his liver last May. He was the primary care taker of his wife, and they had been together for 35 years. He passed on January 15th. On January 28th, Dianna (his wife) went to the hospital with pneumonia. She just died on Valentine's day, and was buried today. Within a month, my girlfriend and her siblings lost both of their parents. She hasn't been at work since December 5th because she had to take care of them. I'm not sure how we go back to our routine from there. Sorry, had to vent. Also explains why I haven't been here much lately. Here's to hoping 2010 will get better from now on!
