Oh God it's already begun. My mom told my brother to buy her stuff to eat but she didn't specify what would be okay for a Chemo patient, and he can't send her photos because the store he's in is underground.

She just begun her Chemo and he called me crying because she was accusing him of making things difficult.

One of the most frustrating things about my mom having cancer is that I literally have to BEG my brother to not engage with her until I tell him it?s okay

Sometimes I really hate those two because of their shitty, messed-up relationship and this is just bringing out the worst of it

hope your computer gets better soon cleome!

Sorry about your mom/brother relationship issues, Sarky. Sounds like there's a lot of baggage there...

I appreciate the understanding of my friends, but I should specify that it's my work computer I'm raging about here. Every time the office pushes through new Windows "improvements" it seems like it's harder and harder to just get the simplest [redacted] done.

At home, I have a Mac. Which isn't perfect but it's still better.

Thanks for clarifying.

When I was librarian in the early noughties, I had a lot of bad experiences with computers, which were just starting to evolve from the big, clunky models to the smaller, more streamlined ones. It was...an adjustment.

My mom just had a talk with me about how she's pragmatically set up arrangements for her own cremation if it ever gets down to that.

This is not really something I was prepared to talk with her about, but I feel numb, detached, more than anything.

That's hard stuff. I can understand why you found it hard to deal with. Still it was thoughtful of her to set things up ahead of time. Whether it is needed sooner (hopefully not) or later, not having to figure it all out at the time can be a blessing. Sign of a good mom. Something to be grateful for.

Indeed.

Re feeling numb and detached, it may be a subconscious way to deal with the situation. Don't feel guilty or bad for feeling that way.

Yeah, its a really ****y subject, but when my father died out of the blue many years ago, we had no idea what to do. If you can plan out in advance these kinds of things, it will absolutely reduce your stress level once the time comes (as odd as that may seem), but like Ibby says, its OK to not feel great about that subject now.

Guys thank you for bearing with me through all this.

It feels like ten years ago when my parents split up and everything went to Hell. Some of you weren't here for that, but still thank you.

Mom had her second chemo round this previous Monday and she's feeling nauseous and everything, but okay.

Qhris is coming by today to fix up her hair.

So glad to hear she's feeling relatively okay, Sarky.

Workmen who don't turn up...

On the plus side, I can now check out a trusted trader website to get someone else. It will get done, even if it is more expensive.
