Journal 20160716 Been helping my dad move stuff around and create room firstly inside the house so my mom has more easier time moving around and getting around in the house. The amount of stuff that my dad has has balloon a lot in the last few years and few months even more so. When my mom had her stroke we all were in hyper Drive mode of cleaning the house and getting rid of stuff even my dad was at the forefront of taking things down to the Habitat for Humanity hand donating it. The one thing about family medical emergency is in such is that family members get together more often afterwards. I've seen all my brothers and sisters now at least every week. My mom who has always been the logical and emotionally balanced and sort of rock of an example for me has been having a hard time with her mortality .this close call had her worried. This Monday last, she had to go into the emergency room has she was having some chest pressure and they found some arterial fib relation and wanted to check her out to make sure if that was okay. But her emotional state has been up and down with it and I think the thought of dying really frightens her which maybe she hasn't thought of much and her life up at up until now. She was sitting in her chair in front of the computer she had just made phone calls to the airlines to cancel her trip to Pittsburgh. That was difficult for her because she was still looking forward to going even though she had had these medical setbacks not even a stroke was going to stop her from going back to visit her friends and family. Tears came to her eyes as her emotions swelled as she talked about having to email her friends and sister that she wasn't going to be able to make the trip.
