my mom is 83 years old and has to start taking dialysis next week. we knew it was coming but i am still not prepared for it. i myself am disabled and feel so helpless. i cannot get over the feeling of being so useless to her and my daddy. i am 51 years old and have degenerative bone disease. my knees are already gone and now my hips... i cannot stand for more thatn a couple of minutes. i try to be up and happy around them, they see thru it sometimes. sometimes i feel so alone in this. i am overweight(obese) and surjury is not a option. i had to stop working after 30 years, which is a bummer! if anyone has any thing that may help us thru this or if yu are going thru the same, hit me up, because if really do feel alone in this now.....

i am sorry hearing something that, it must be awful and i am sure that you are having a hard time also coping with the events that all of a sudden happened. but please don't get into your head that you are useful, i am sure that your parents very well understand what you can do and cannot do, don't push yourself to hard cause it'll never be beneficial for the sake of your mother, being there for her is enough to feel that she was blessed with such a wonderful sons/daughters. hope that your mom get pass through all of this. AJA...la bella vita!
