My father died last year, and my mother had a bad health scare recently. I think it really freaked me out. I mean really, one at a time please. She was in ICU for a couple of days, not ok. She's fine now, but the notion of hospitals and such scares the hell out of me right now. But she's ok, it was an acute, sudden thing, not a deteriorating condition necessarily, as long as it's managed. I'm just wondering if she can manage taking care of everything. My siblings are on top of it, but I'm far away, and any kind of trip for me had to involve taking days from work when I'm not really even sure what I can do. I feel guilty. I'm not sure what to with all of this.

Have you talked by phone to your Mother & Sibling? Asked them what you can do to help? Are they in the area? If so & your Mom is going to be okay. I'm betting they understand that you can't be there right now. Any possibility of a trip in the near future if only for long weekend? Phillipa

Yeah, particularly when the weather is better.
I meant to post this on psych.
So, I'll post something about meds....
Lamictal, I want off, down to 50 mgs from 200, and I think I feel it. There's no going back though. I gotta get off meds, enough already.
And yeah, I did ask them what I could do. I get updates. They say she's much better. It's not like my father. My father only got worse.
