Mr. Penrose, please accept our wishes for a quick recovery of your wife.  May the currents change to rising lift beneath your wings right now!

Thanks.  But why are you using unlisted personal information in your post?

To remnd myself of the promotional sale on smashwords available through September, of course.

Fair enough.

Damn, sorry to hear that Roger.

Although, if it's any comfort, I'm sure the doctors have already tested for the more worrying possibilities and so have ruled them out.  It's what I'd do, as a doctor, and I'd like to think doctors are at least as smart as some random guy on the internet.

I will keep hoping for the best Roger. If her blood sugar was good and she regained consciousness fairly quickly I'd lay strong odds that it wasn't a major issue. Lots of relatively minor things can cause a loss of consciousness, but you still have to go get checked. If they didn't find any major issue fairly quickly the chances are that it was something minor like dehydration or a blood pressure drop.

I'm not a doctor of course, but this guy from the Internet knows a thing or two and sincerely believes that you and yours pull through this. Take care sir.

Tests have been run (some of them), results are not yet known.  We won't hear a thing until Monday at the eariest.

Holy shit. I hope it just turns out to be one of those weird random fluctuations in blood pressure or something innocuous like that.

1.  Thanks for the good wishes, everyone.

2.  That's kind of what I'm hoping for, Nigel.

That sucks, TGRR. I'm going to get on the "hope it's something minor" bandwagon, too.

Loved ones randomly keeling over always scares the hell out of me cause there's so many potential causes. Here's hoping the lab works swiftly and well and delivers good news.

Well my mom's had another breakdown. A bad one this time; she's presently at a psychiatric hospital up in Boston. It's been hard, seeing her there on her good and bad days, and it's becoming harder.

Her health care proxies are currently her two older sisters, who seem to be under the impression that my mom can get better, or that she can function when the medication cocktail is just right. My sister and I have determined that this is not the case. She needs more direct care, like an assisted but independent living facility. She needs to be out of work, which is so often the catalyst for her episodes.

Her sisters are going to fight to keep themselves as her proxy, because they see my sister and I akin to the scum that accumulates on the bathtub and a significant part of my mother's problems. We're going to have to see if we can have her declared incompetent to make decisions regarding her own care. She's having visual spacial inconsistencies, she forgets things like paying her bills, she's getting lost while driving with some frequency, she can't keep track of the 90 day supplies of horse tranquilizers she's on and either overdosing or not dosing.

My sister and I are going to try to meet with her social worker at the hospital this afternoon. I'm expecting her call this morning. My mom called last night and told me she's changed her mind about having us as proxies and wants to stick with her sisters, and when I told her I don't think that's the best idea, she just said "okay" and hung up on me, so I don't know if we'll even be allowed to discuss her case.

I'm somewhere between shaking and nerve vomiting.
